I have an ACE trailer, I drove from MA to FL as I had bought a new boat in 2007 and drove to Tampa to get the trailer, then across to Ft. Lauderdale to get the boat.
I saved a ton on both the trailer and the boat, even after the road-trip.
Oh yeah, get all stainless steel hardware/fasteners and don't forget the accu-lube hubs. Pump the grease in and it flows all the way out the back of the bearings out to the front. The bearings will last about forever with this system, fresh grease all the time and no more guessing with bearing buddies which only get grease to the front bearings anyway.
Once one learns how much they need to sink the trailer at the ramps, you will look like a pro everywhere you go. I get my boat in and out myself in less than 1/2 the time roller guys do with hardly any winching.
The thing with aluminum trailers is that almost every aluminum I-Beam is the same as they don't vary much, it is how it is put together that is the main difference.
Also, make sure that the bunk carpet does not wrap around the bottom of the bunk as that will help the carpet and bunk-wood drier/last longer.
Get a strap for the winch and ditch the cable, cables suck.
