Type of Hitch to Purchase

I have a TV- 2014 Dodge Citadel, 5.7 hemi. 3.09:1, GVWR 7100 lbs.; TT-2014 Sport Trek, 250VRK, UVW 5270 lbs., Hitch Weight 500 lbs., Carrying capacity 1230 lbs., GVWR 6500 lbs. -- I have 4, 300 to 400 mile trips under my belt. TV has plenty of power and control with a 10K generic WDH & friction sway control. Problem is we feel some movement(sway) with 18 wheelers and Diesel Pushers passing. This is uncomfortable and somewhat daunting. I am looking at the Equalizer 10K 4 point sway control hitch. This hitch seems to be able to handle the movement and is reasonably priced $600.00. OR I am looking at the Hensley Club (smaller version of the Arrow). 6000 lb. rating, tongue rating 600lb. I am not sure because of the ratings of this Club that I am at the limit of my ratings and will it be OK. The Arrow is a few hundred more but rated at 14K....Seems an overkill. Either Hensley's is a sacrifice of one camping outing with it's price tag and my inability to set up and install.
So the problem arises as in life what decision to make. If the Equalizer will not provide a comfortable ride then it must be Hensley and if Hensley do I get the Club or Arrow? I am requesting some experienced RVer's with either hitches and my ratings to offer their best opinions.
