Is a higher TT GVWR better?
If a travel trailer's load (all my cargo, liquids, batts, LP, etc.)PLUS dry trailer weights were hypothetically say 8,200lbs for two TTs I'm considering, but the GVWR on one was 9800 and the other 11,...

Someone screwed up. I looked at your specifications and they match perfectly a 10,000 GVW trailer???? You could change the stickers on it and it would match in form the same as my Sunnybrook.

They claim they overbuild all their trailers for offroad use, hence the lower GVWR than what the components can handle.
I blew right thru the 7900 GVWR and run in the 8200-8500 range on most trips and don't think twice about it on this trailer.
I have noticed that as the model years progress my model camper keeps adding a little to the GVWR without a frame/suspension change. The dry weight goes up a little and the GVWR is 1750lbs heavier.
I am shocked I have around 2K lbs of stuff in my camper, as they claim dry weight is "full feature" and I have no options just standard stuff. I haven't reweighed it this year with a full camping load and my heavier batteries, but will soon.
Last time I weighed the camper unhooked it was 1250 on the tongue, and 7040 on the axles loaded for camping. I have had trips with ~200lbs more on the axles.
How do you change the stickers? Is it "official"?
