BAL type landing legs much less stable than scissor jacks?

The new TT has power Lippert stabilizers and the old HTT had BAL single arm ones. The old BAL stabs were much more stable than the Lippert system.
I did re-locate the BAL stabs so they were perpendicular to the HTT centerline. I figured this cut the side to side movement. And I made my own between the wheel chocks I could screw-tighten to stop the fore and aft movement. Overall this worked out very well.
