You will find that NONE of the naysayers have ever owned a HA or towed with one. Still a good idea to weigh your rig so you know what's what, but you are correct that the HA is a great defense against the side wind load on a longer TT.
Sometimes you have no choice about "the way you load it" when the TT mfr puts big storage areas and the fresh water tank behind the axles.
Our 34' Sunnybrook had an 8'x6' pass through storage area that was accessible from both sides and the back of the TT...plus the water tank was behind the axles too...I towed that trailer home from the dealer with no WD, nose down like the transport guys do, and it was all over the road if I tried to go faster than 45 mph. I'm not really sure how they delivered it....
Bottom line, it's your money, spend it how you like...all I can attest to is how well the hitch works at completely eliminating sway under all conditions. I no longer worry about wind gusts, passing semis, uneven pavement, etc.
