One more vote for Readybrake here. I'd take it over a Brake Buddy (or any other 'brake in a box' system) ANY day of the week.
Its a shame you already got the Blue Ox tow bar, as if you bought Readybrake's ReadyBrute Elite combination, you'd get their really nice 8,000 lb rated tow bar AND their Readybrake braking system all as one package deal for almost the same as you paid for just the Blue Ox tow bar alone.
If you decide you want to go with Readybrake (which I would highly, highly recommend), I'd look and see if you can return the Blue Ox Tow bar, and get you a ReadyBrute Elite. Will save you a LOT of $$, nearly $1000, over what you're going to pay for a Brake Buddy and Blue Ox tow bar.
