You don't have to change out your pinion. You use an adapter which installs in minutes.
Height adjustments are as simple as pulling a pin and moving the ball up or down.
You don't feel as much of the trailers movement because it rides on the ball as opposed to being locked into a conventional 5th wheel hitch that is locked solid to your truck.
I think hitching and unhitching are easier. Back under ball, lower trailer onto ball, lock the mechanism.
Andersons customer service has always been beyond excellent.
I have pull 7 different 5th wheels with the same hitch. From 28 to 37'. Never had a problem.

Yes, we used an AUH on a couple rigs for ~30,000 miles and love the hitch too. We moved away from it due to the warranty concerns on a new rig; doesn't apply to the OP, so I agree it would be worth considering for sure.
I would disagree with the easier hitching though. After a few times it gets easier, but I do not think it's as easy as backing onto a regular 5th wheel hitch. With those you just back up until you feel a clunk - you definitely don't want to do that with the AUH!!!
