Thanks for the response! If you ever decide to upgrade your trailer, let me know. 
Yes, they are a bit pricey considering how small they are, but they are very well made. They're made by Thor, which I think has a pretty good reputation for quality. We also considered the Fun Finder, which is a little cheaper, a little heavier, and is fully contained. The interior cabinets in the T@B are solid wood, whereas the Fun Finder is cheap paneling type stuff with plastic trim. We also looked at the Airstream Base Camp. That is a cool trailer, but it makes the price of the T@B seem cheap!
Here's some of the things that sold us on the T@B: it's aerodynamic, super light (it has handles and we can move it around super easy), does not require a brake controller (has surge brakes), excellent quality, perfect match to my JK (silver), has a permanent trailer license (no annual reg. fees), we're short enough that we can stand up in it (I think it's 5'9" inside), and it's different than almost anything else on the road.
It tows great. My husband and I split the driving time 50/50 when we travel, and I am perfectly comfortable driving with the trailer in tow. The only exception is that I'm not too good at backing it up, so I let my husband do that! The trailer seems to be well matched to the Jeep. It has no trouble towing it. We lose about 5mpg when we tow it, so that's not too bad.
