Husky Centerline WDH

I might be able to get a used Husky Centerline WDH at a low price.
Any user's comments on this hitch specifically, pro or con?
Have found this so far:

the thing you are thinking about is that in order to unhook and remove the WD bars with the Husky Centerline hitch your truck/trailer would need to be pretty much in a straight line with that hitch. The reason is that there are compression washers in the bar sockets/hitch head that always try to keep the bars in a straight ahead position. This is what makes the hitch resist sway. However, that same pressure that keeps the bars in the straight ahead position also make it hard to move them away from the A frame for removal off the L shaped brackets if the truck/trailer are not lined up straight.
  • It would be pretty much the same for any active sway control system.
    In the case of my DC, if your not straight then you could theoretically have a lot more tension on the bars when you disconnect.
    But frankly I have never had an issue with it.
    Oh and they're all heavy, my drawbar head weighs about 50 lbs.
