Hydraulic vs Electric Landing Gear

We are looking at new fifth wheels, the Cardinal has hydraulic 6 point leveling system and the Jayco has 6 point electric leveling system. Our current unit has hydraulic front landing gear and I really like how fast it is.

My question, is one system better than the other? Is there any pros and cons? It's not a deal breaker for me as the wife will get the layout she wants. I just want quality

Thanks for your replies.

We've electric, but have camped with a lot of folks with hydraulic. The hydraulic ones are very quick to set up and take down, but can be frustrating when the electronics don't want to cooperate. Doesn't happen often, but when it does it'll take time. There is less movement after setting up, but it's about the same as after we've tightened up our Strong Arms (that's a 4 point Level Up comparison, I'd imagine putting a pair of alum. screw jacks under the middle would equal a 6 point).

Bottom line, I'd go for it as you'll spend less time pushing buttons overall - just be prepared for the infrequent time when you've got to go manual or reboot the thing. Kind of like having a PC in your life!
