Hey Mark, welcome back! This is very much a case of "you get what you pay for." The Curt TruTrack 2P # C95MJ you looked at is a good option if you tow your trailer a short distance once or twice a year. If you tow with any frequency and you really want to keep everything nice and level while reducing sway the Equal-i-zer is definitely the way to go. They have been in the weight distribution business for over 75 years and they're considered one of the best out there.
Do you know your tongue weight? You want to choose a system based on the loaded tongue weight of your setup. This is typically 10-15% of your loaded trailer weight. Once you have that information you can choose from the following:
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37040ET (tongue weight up to 400 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37060ET (tongue weight range 200 - 600 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET (600 lbs - 1,000 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37120ET (800 lbs - 1,200 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37140ET (1,000 lbs - 1,400 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ64FR (1,200 lbs - 1,600 lbs)
