It would definitely be cheaper, and just a bit easier. The only real advantage the h1 hitch has is that it was designed to accommodate the auxiliary fuel tank they have, so if someone ever wanted to got that rout they wouldn't have to change anything.

Alright I'll explain it here then also. Basically there are 2 styles of hitches for the h1, an early style and a late style. The late style hitch seems to be much more sturdy so that's what I went with and what I ordered the parts for. The late style hitch looks like this:
There are 4 brackets...
I'm in the middle of putting one on my m998. You will need an airlift bumper if you want to use a stock hitch off a h1, or you could make something custom.
