Default F-350 Hitch Question

I have been looking on line and I need some help. Per the hitch dealer there is no difference between a class 4 and the titan hitch. The only difference if the titan uses a 2 1/2 in draw bar. But the bar is hollow?? My current draw bar is a 12k solid steel bar??? I need to up-grade the hitch on the truck (a long story) but I don't know what is the better choice??

1) Titan and the new draw bar

2) Titan and a adapter to use the current draw bar

3) New class 4 with the current draw bar

Thoughts....

If you live in California or arizona there is a company called Echart Trailer Hitches. I used ot work there in High School. They buid a 15k WC hitch called the Exprert. The thing is unreal. It welds to your frame instead of bolting and is made of 4" tubbing with a half inch wall. The insert is solid 2 1/2" and weighs like 100 pounds. It's the real deal.

Curt hitches makes a class V hitch with a 2x2 receiver. I have it on my van and pulls 18,000# just fine. No adapter needed.

I just bought the exact one at a local place called discount hitch.
