Teri,
I kind of think you might be trying to overthink this. The Prodigy will do the job and do it well. If you have some money to burn then perhaps the other controller would be a good choice too. I know what I did for many years and was completely satisfied. If I were going to tow a lot again (I'm not ) I think I would purchase one to try it out. Kind of did the same thing with the Hensley years ago. :R
Actually, truth be told, I would like to see you get the other controller, use it, and report your impressions on this forum. We could all use a bit of educating.:)

Overthink it!? No way! L;)L Yeah, that's me . . . The only thing about the Hopkins Insight is I haven't been able to read much about the boost feature on it and this seems like the main thing, considering the Hensley.
Problem with us "over-thinkers" (aka paralysis of analysis) is that it does pay-off in some situations. For instance, when I contemplated towing a 25' TT with the 4Runner many years ago. Many, many on here thought that it was flat-out crazy, but after hundreds of posts and detailed conversations with a wide-range of people (including engineers and Hensley pros), it was pretty well established that the Hensley would allow the V8 4Runner to pull it fine. So that's the route I took, and after 12 years and tens of thousands of miles up and down all terrains, it works quite well!
So do you like how I justified my over-thinkingness? :D
