vermeer hook tines

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the newer vermeer tedders with the hook tines? I'm looking for a new 6 basket tedder and am considering the vermeer TE250. Do the hook tines really work any better than the other brands out there? Do they really dry the hay any faster? I'd be using it mostly in orchard grass and Timothy. The dealer has been very friendly to talk with, and keeps coming back to the hook tines as to what sets them apart from the competition, but in my area there are no Vermeer tedders, so I have nothing to go by other than what the dealer tells me. I know most folks on here like the krone, but I want a model with the heavy transport gear, and in a krone you have to get the 2-point hitch model to do that. We don't use the 3 point hitch arms for anything else, so I take them off the tractor so they don't bang around. I'm only considering a true drawbar pull model. I'm also considering a kuhn, but am looking to see if the vermeers are any better.
