Take a look at the actual weight of the alum vs. steel. You'll find it's not much. Is that little bit of weight savings worth that big expense? To me, it isn't. So I have a steel trailer with an alum deck.

The E-Track is really nice. Well worth the $75.

Get extra doors. I have 5 doors on mine.

You really only need 14' for the Cobra. But a couple of extra feet will make it easier to balance. And you'll have room in the front for a spare tire and a few other things.

The jack is fixed, not far behind the hitch. That means you can't lower a pick up tail gate with the trailer attached. An annoyance. A flip up jack is much better.
