I have a 42ft, 10 tonne, Moody and we buddied up with some friends, with a near identical Moody, for a summer of cruising in the Med which included some very bumpy nights at anchor.
I was using (and still am) a 25kg Rocna and they had either a 20 or 25kg Manson. Both performed equally well, digging in and staying in. Based on these observations, I consider the Manson a good anchor and am surprised at your experience.
I have never used a Bruce, my previous anchor, for many years, was a CQR. Without wishing to start another anchor war, I would not change back, the performance of the Rocna is so outstandingly better.
In your situation I would email Manson and ask for their opinion and advice on your problems.
