Thanks Bill,

I guess my previous comment was vague, sorry about that. My original question was how it works, but Bruce effectively answered that for me.

My father once told me he got a blowout. The antisway on his WDH actually kept the blown out tire/rim off the ground. In fact, he barely knew he had a blowout. In this case, the antisway may have saved a rim. Also, he felt that the antisway also kept trailer wheels from "dipping" into unexpected potholes, which could damage tires or rims. These could be viable arguments for having antisway installed, even for a TM.

I am probably going to get the WDH without antisway, but make sure I have something to which antisway could be added if I change my mind in the future. This is partly influencing my choice from the list I posted.

The Reese 66073 with the included antisway sounds like a very good WDH, but expensive if antisway is not really necessary. Personally, I'm leaning towards the Reese 66021 which could have standard antisway install afterwards.
