As long as the tongue weight isn't ridiculous, you probably won't notice much difference in towing, especially at speed. The trailers' frontal areas and profiles are similar, and aerodynamics play a larger part during cruising.
I towed it home yesterday. It did feel heavier, but I think it actually towed better than my previous trailer. I'm not sure why. Maybe the hitch? It's a 10,000 Equalizer. Really nice and easy to use. Using it as it was already set up, it felt/looked pretty level. Pic below.
Like you say, at speed and on a relatively smooth road, there was no difference I could tell. The truck strained a bit more on hills, but nothing major. The worst part of the two hour drive home was a 5 mile stretch of bumpy road. The bouncing made me nauseous. I don't remember that happening with my other camper.
We opened it up, and everyone's excited for our first trip in two weeks.
