I'm not sure what a sewer master system is, but I've had a macerator system in my last two coaches and it is a 'must have' for any future coaches. Some pros and cons:
Pros:
Easy to dump
No mess - no gloves no spills

Takes longer to dump.
More expensive than a stinky slinky.
Needs to be cleaned annually. More often if someone has long hair.
