Wire trellis

Hi all. So I need to install  a wire trellis on my fence for my climbing rose and honeysuckle. It's the standard six foot fence with concrete  posts and after looking at previous threads on the subject it looks like I have two choices.
I can drill into the concrete posts and screw in vine eyes which  could  damage the posts and sounds like hard work but if needs must.
Or I can use Rivelin glen wire anchors with seems a lot easier but a bit more expensive. 
So has anyone else used the wire anchors and if so are they up to the job as this is probably my preferred option. 
Or are vine eyes just the standard way to go.when I'm looking in garden centres  you see loads of vine eyes but never seen wire anchors. 
Thanks.

    I haven't use dthem but there have been several conversations on here over the years.  As I recall, they are considered to be good.
