Statistically the % of owners of the $2000+ WDH are more satisfied than the $500 WDH who are more satisfied than the $300 hitch. I see no reason not to at least get the $500-ish WDH at the relative cost over the basic WDH with friction sway control.

I'm would bet that statistically based on sales volume as the measure of customer satisfaction that the numbers skew towards the standard WD hitch.
In most campgrounds I go to I see sway bars and regular WD hitches on 7-8 out of 10 TT parked. The others have an integrated sway and WD design. Most of those tend to be the E2 by fast way or the one by reese that's basically the same.
Most people on RV.net seem to prefer the DC or the Equal-I-zer...the majority of TT haulers are not on RV.net. My experience with a properly set up standard WD hitch and two sway bars vs reese dual cam proved to me that from my seat...there is little to no difference. Everything being properly set up.
I'm all for safety...but all friction hitches are about the same in effectiveness.
Blue Ox sway pro and the Hensley twins are exceptions and are a significant step up from the friction hitches.
Thanks!
