Trailair Rota-flex vs. Flex Air???

Hi,
This is a followup to my post about which air hitch you recommend.

I have narrowed my search to the above models made by Lippert due to the fact that using another brand pin box may void the warranty on my Lippert frame. So....I would rather not take my chances with that and will limit myself to Lippert products (eventhough I don't agree with their policy on this).

My options are the Rota-flex which is a lot like the Morryde, or the flex air. The Rota-flex is about $500 and the Flex Air is about $1000.

I can find lots of reviews online for the Flex Air, but not a lot for the Rota-flex.

Any opinions on this? Is the Flex Air worth it for twice the price?

thanks

Matt

    Well I put the roto-flex on another toy hauler I had and it made a big difference. My current hauler has one from the factory but I'm thinking maybe about going to the flex-air for a little more cush. The reason being is that I use the engine brake and when the engine downshifts its a bit harsh and I'm thinking with the flex-air it will take some of the harshness out of the engine braking when its downshifting.
