    I prefer KW....I think it all is a matter of preference. I had a WS for the last company I worked for...The only thing good I can say about it, it had lots of room in the sleeper.

    Having owned a few of both models , worst truck I ever owned was a 2008 W900L , the WS has a nicer cab layout more room and you can get between the seats to the bunk easier.

    That is the period when E & L and Maris were one in the same. I did 25 yrs with E & L, semi retired in 2001. Glad to see there are still some other old car haulers still around.
