E2 vs Equalizer vs Blue Ox
I have a decision to make. I currently have a Husky round bar, with 800# bars and a single sway. My older truck which got wrecked, worked perfectly with this hitch and trailer, but my replacement 201...

Since you have made your decision, my input is no longer pertinent. That said, I have experience with Equal-i-zer and Blue Ox.
I had used the Equal-i-zer on two trailers, and had intended to use them on my new Jayco 23RB. However the dealer said the plates that mounted on the tongue were too short, and he'd either have to order larger ones which would take a couple of days to arrive, or he could sell me and put on a Blue Ox WDH. Reluctantly, I went with the Blue Ox.
Having had both, I will say I wish I had the Equal-i-zer hitch on my new trailer.
I've tried to like the Blue Ox, but I can't. Hate dealing with that cam and chain.
I'm still contemplating getting whatever new part I need and put the Equal-i-zer back on.
The one draw back to the Equal=i-zer is if you go up in tongue weight, you may have to get an entirely new hitch head. Bars are not interchangeable.

Decision made. Found a 1500 BO from Camping World for $449. Since I am already close to 1000# with the hitch weight, and plan to mount the genny to the A frame, the 1500# one should work just fine. Will also be good in case I upgrade to a heavier trailer in the next few years.
