5th cons:
Hook-up is more time consuming
Not sure I follow this one. With a 5'er you simply back in until it clicks and you're done. No WD bars, chains etc. to deal with. I leave my hitch in the bed 90% of the time so I rarely take time to put it in or take it out. When I do its easy to just leave it hanging from the king pin and drop it in as needed.
I'm talking about hooking up at home - empty out my bed, pull out the piece of plywood that covers the hitch rails, drag the hitch out and put it in the bed and then... finally..... hookup. Yes, once the hitch is in place it's easier. Due to my work I leave my hitch in my bed 0% of the time so it's always a big job for me.
