Just one data point here. My electric in frame slide failed on my first trip. It took 3 months to get it fixed under warranty. My Schwintek slide has always worked great. Smooth and quiet and no loud clutch noises. No tilting in and out while in motion and no rubbing the floor. It’s my favorite slide of the three. So far. My experience anyway.

I know nothing about this system or company, but you could always throw some money at the slide problem and go with them.
I edited this to make it clear that I have no relationship with this company and am not recommending them, just mentioning that they do replacements.

My 337RLS was also issued with the Schwintec slide, but has had no problems of any kind so far (more than a year since the RV was new). A neighbor at a campground where we stayed a couple of weeks ago has the 31MB and his slide gave him some problems, but he also did the recalibration/synchronization procedure and the problem was solved.

my living room slide does the herky jerky going in and out, and has since we bought the rig, but it works ok. The other two slides move easier. Not saying anything else as we leave Friday for a short 2 day trip and don't want to jinx anything.....

I had the same problem. The problem was the power connectors on the side of the Schwintec control unit. Have someone apply pressure to the two connectors while you open the slide. If that works, use sand paper on the male connectors and crimp the female connectors so they fit tighter on the male connectors.

I had my trailer into the dealer 3 times (under warranty) for the Schwintek slide not working properly. They finally figured out it was out of spec from manufacturing. They rebuilt it to spec and now it seems to be working. So far so good.

Interesting development in my Schwintek slide issues. I keep the trailer on my property. I use the stabilizers when parked. Went to run out the slide and she bound up. Needless to say, not happy since they said they fixed it as it was out of spec. When I picked up the trailer from the dealer, the stabilizers weren't down. So the slide worked very well. I brought my stabilizers up and now the slide works. I don't recall reading that you have to run the slide out BEFOR you use the stabilizers. What are others doing? It seems I will not be setting the stabilizers until the slide is out. Thoughts?.

It definitely makes a difference IMO IF you are over doing the stabs
I have done it both ways but IMO the slide should be deployed before stabilizers are set in case there was binding of the frame but stabilizers should never be cranked that hard

Well I got my update from the dealer today on my slide issue...
They need to order a whole new mechanism. It's not in stock with Grand Design nor Schwintech. So there is no projected date on when the parts will be in.
Oh yeah and on my refrigerator issue where it runs constantly, getting a new one of those as well. And also it's not in stock so I have no ETA on that one either
Looks like I'm not camping until the fall
