weighed my new rig, full loaded.

Personally, I had no problem with your previous setup. That said, it is you that must be comfortable with your rug. I think comfort level is very important. I am sure that overtime, you will make the upgrades to satisfy your comfort level. I have had SRW and DRW with campers and trailers. Each have their own advantages and disadvantages. I have no obsessions either way.
