Anecdotal, but for what it's worth, I towed a 21 footer with ~650 lbs of tongue weight on my 600/6000 Equalizer hitch for 11 years, about 15K towing miles. Never an ounce of sway, nor any visible damage to the hitch.

With my new trailer, I decided to go with the 1200 unit. Glad I did, but don't regret for even a second using the 600 tongue weight unit for those 11 years.
