Mine was not called the Dispatch, though looked pretty much the same and worked the same way. Could be that they have stiffened up the frame.
Might be, I can see the ends of my bikes, haven't noticed any bounce. I do know the beast weighs 54 lbs., the 1up 2 bike rack is 46 lbs. Both would seem to be heavy duty.

You would be correct. I got an 8” receiver welded to each side of the rear frame for my flagpole holder. I utilize the vacant one for storing my stinger.

Jim, I used same logic in my decision to purchase the 1UP. My old bike rack lasted 20 years, and I figure this new bike rack will last longer than me.
