Replacement for Mammut Genesis?

Time to retire my Mammut Genesis 8.5mm halfs. They are great ropes, but i bought them ~6 years ago. Anything better out there these days? I'm looking for doubles that can be used as single-strand leads as well, like the Genesis.
EDIT: And it looks like Genesis is being discontinued by most USA resellers...are people buying the Phoenix more, or some other reason?

Beal Opera is now the thinnest/lightest rope that is triple-rated as a single,double and twin line. Costly but it could be a great supplement to another true double rope since it is truly rated as a single unlike the Genesis.

Thanks for the info, interesting. It's exactly the same weight as the genesis 8.5 (48 g/m), but it's truly rated to 80 kg falls vs 55 kg falls.
I'd previously heard poo things about Beal rope wear and handling, anyone use this rope?

Bump in case anyone else has thoughts?
