Anyone have experience with Cornhusker or Jet trailers?

I am wondering if anyone out there has any experience with and could provide some advice on Cornhusker Ultralite grain trailers. I have only pulled Timptes and Wilsons, but have looked at a couple used Cornhuskers recently that appear to be in very good shape and reasonably priced and am considering trying one. I asked one fellow, who has a lot more experience owning hoppers than I do, about them and he said they were his favorite brand but doesn't pull them anymore because of the wind drag caused by the exposed vertical ribs along the side. He said it cost him about 1 mpg in lost fuel mileage, which really surprised me-- I didnt realize it wloud make such a drastic difference. He also said Jet trailers cost about .6 mpg due to their fluted sides as well. Has anyone else had this experience, or have any other advice on what you think of Cornhuskers or Jets? Thanks in advance for any help!
