Default Maxi marine lifters vs trim tabs

Has anyone experiance with Maxi marine lifters http://www.alpineboats.com/QandA.php vs trimtabs or Smart tabs? The lifters look stationary on the boat transom but are much larger than the Smart tabs . I don't know if the differant positions or length of the rams on the Smart tabs would add or detract from the performance compared to larger stationary tabs.What do you think?
