No difference in loading vs. a BP, turning and backing up is much easier with a Gooseneck as well, I sell horse trailers so I haul a lot of big stuff
WAY better towing, I wouldn't tow anything this size without a gooseneck if I have a choice, the ride is Soooooo much better worth every bit of the $7k more for the option, plus No stupid surge brakes

Did you go with EoH brakes, or all Electric?
I had very few complaints about my Myco. One of the main ones was that on mine (at the time) they ran the SS brake lines between the tires and the outer frame of the trailer. If you had a tire come apart on you, it would very easily take out the brakes. I was lucky that this never happened, but I would have likely re-rigged that part of it if I had not sold everything.

[QUOTE=Sydwayz;4516651]Baller! Nice choice on the upgraded axles as well.

EOH , I would never use electric brakes for water, or drums for that matter must be Disc IMO
I really only need the brakes on the trailer for emergency / other ******* drivers stopping, with my Exhaust brake I hardly use the brakes, went about 150k miles before my first set of pads and rotors on my Dodge
When I drove her home from NC to PA on the POS trailer that it came with I had no brakes at all ! tires were **** too, it was a pretty stressful 10 hour trip, DOT would have had a field day with me if they pulled me over
I upgraded to 7k axles ( I wanted 8k but they talked me out of it) and with the Goodyear 614's I am not worried about a tire blow out, best trailer tire money can buy IMO
