Pinch roller machines are used for laminating. I'm not sure why the slideout side walls would be any different. It sounds like an anomaly.
The Schwintek slide mechanism used on the Eagle Cap requires a lot more precision build (square and plumb) on the slide box, the opening and alignment - which is something that manufacturers overall had to get used to or switch back to the simpler old style slide mechanism. I wouldn't say that the old style is any better.
That said, ask the dealer if they can demonstrate how the slide mechanism can be manually operated in the event of motor failure.
It may help in your decision.
