Reese SideWinder pin box

I'm getting my first 5th Wheel trailer (Dry Weight 7,500 LBS) and wanted to get some feed back on The Reese Side Winder Pin Box. I installed a 16,000 Pull Rite hitch (Non Slider) on my 2012 2500 Ram Maga cab.
I can find a lot of dealer information on the Side Winder but very little feed back from the people that have them.
Do you like the Side Winder, is there any bad points or things I should be aware of?
My new trailer will be here in about two weeks and I look forward to some good times. I have pulled TT with sway bars and that was enough to make your butt pucker on windy days crossing a bridge. I'm really hoping the 5th. wheel will pull a lot better but the suspense is killing me.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

All good points from my end on the SideWinder , can't comment on the AB SideWinder , never owned one , BUT have used my SideWinder and hitch on 2 different 5ers with NO PROBLEMS ( towing or hitching up ) .

I jack-knifed both units in the dealers parking lot before leaving the lot , I did have him lower my hitch to it's lowest level before leaving because the nose was a little high on the Cougar , ya got to double check most dealers installations of anything , 90% just throw and go , AKA : Don't really give a rats butt after the sale OR either don't know what they are doing in the first place !

Wouldn't have one where I had to remove the wedge before hitching up , if it don't line up , your either backing in with your landing gear to high OR to low , I always measure my king pin or some point on the side of it from the ground after I raise my landing gear to the right unhitching/hitching height and write it down .

Mine hitches/unhitches and tows Good . >>>>>> PICS
