Safet, I can maybe answer a few. Exiss Sport is the lite version of the Exiss trailers. The Event is higher quality. The guys will chime in in a minute with more detailed information, but, as a quick easy way to get some handle on heavy duty versus non heavy duty construction on all aluminum trailers, compare trailer weights for trailers (non LQ) of the same dimensions and features. I don't own an Event, but would consider a purchase of one. Probably wouldn't consider a Sport. Trailers can roughly be categorized as Low, Mid and High End, with Event as a solid Mid, along with Featherlite. Elite is a High End, heavy duty, comparable to a 4 Star, Bloomer, or Platinum. (I'm not to sure about the newer Elite Mustand, maybe somebody else can provide more info) Silverlite is little known outside of the PNW, but, in my opinion is more of a high end. The Siverlite LQ's aren't fancy looking, but the trailer construction is heavy duty. However, that being said, Silverlite has just come out with sort of a lite model, wood floors and no mangers. I don't know if there have been any structural changes. There are quite a few threads on this forum about trailer quality.

Safet, I just walked the Silverlite factory on Friday with my wife to look at possibly ordering a custom bumper pull unit. Very friendly people and very open. It clearly is a hand made product with plenty of beefy aluminum gussets and welds throughout the construction process. Looking at the floor construction and underframe pointed out how solid the trailer will be. The Prestige is fully insulated, the Circuit Deluxe is the heaviest of their models and probably would match Exiss and Sooner straight up. We have friends who have both brands. All three are great trailers.
