Equal-i-zer vs Dual Cam

I've asked about hitch preferences before but now it is time to finally make a decision and I'm looking for the voice of experience. I have been towing for 15 plus years with a Reese dual cam, trailers weighing from 4500 lb up to my current 9000 lb. Trailer is 36 ft long and has a hitch weight of around 1100 pounds. I'm happy with the Dual cam but as I have increased in weight I have had to change the bars. This particular set of bars has a very short tail piece behind the detente where the cam sits. DW has commented a couple of times on how it sometimes looks like the bars are going to completely disengage from the cams when I am backing at a tight angle. I really don't want to have to take the bars off to backup but if I have to I'm thinking The Equalizer bars would be a whole lot easier than the Dual cam. Is the Equal-i-zer vs Dual Cam debate as simple as 6 of one, half a dozen of the other or in your experience do you find one superior?

I would stick with your DC setup and not worry about dropping a bar in tight backing up situations. I have been using the DC setup for 14 years and had some tight situations to back into and even in the early days a jacknife situation where I had to pull forward to straighten up and never dropped a bar. I have 1500 lb bars on my current setup and still no issues. I would stay with what has worked very well.
