The Revolver wasn't originally designed to be used in the application that arbos are putting it. The original idea was a more efficient quickdraw redirect. In a low load application I can see the benefit compared to using a full-on pulley. When the loads go up there is more of a benefit to using more efficient pulley.
When I've used my Revolver I realize that I'm giving up some mechanical advantage but I gain simplicity and a more stream lined setup.

I agree, with the exception that in the instructions that come with the Revolver, they show a diagram using the Revolver to replace a pulley in a load lifting application. If the purpose of the configuration is to gain mechanical advantage, the Revolver could very well, due to inefficiency, cancel the mechanical advantage.
