Any experiences with Hensley or Pullrite hitches?

Whenever the boss gives the go ahead, I'm planning on looking at buying a tag RV. Not sure about a toy hauler or a conventional yet, but I have been looking at these hitches. Does anyone have any experience with them? I realize they're a lot more expensive than most WD and sway control hitches on the market, but I've heard that especially when towing a longer tag they're worth the price.

Any thoughts/comments? Here are their websites:

Have hensley and love it. Very pricey , they used to have a 1 year no interest plan. Wont be soory if you go with it. the sales video is a little cheesey but product works as claimed. I find it easier to hook up with out the wifes help a she tries to get to close to perfect. Get the tounge twister with it and it will be no problem. Does ake a little to get used to hooking up,use a cordless drill to run up the load bars.

My dad has a 2001 Dodge P/U (with diesel and 6-speed, of course) and he has the Pullrite hitch. He loves it. He really loves it when he pulls into a station for fuel and someone will walk up to him and make some comment like "I think there is something wrong with your hitch. It looks like it is broken". He just grins and then explains what kind of hitch he has on there.

It does "cheat" a little more on corners then a traditional type of hitch hook-up, but it doesn't take long to get used to it.
