Thank you, John (justlou).
In another thread, I posted a link to the chart itself.
VIP Enterprise's Comparison Chart
I think it is excellent information, but here is a caution I posted in the other thread.
Although it is the best compilation I have seen in one place and is well worth the time to read, two things should be remembered when comparing the data:
Having done considerable research recently, I'm aware of other errors in the chart. For example: The chart claims that, as an option, BrakeBuddy has Automatic Operation with manual override. There is no manual override with a BrakeBuddy system.
Still the chart is worth the read.

- It was not produced by an independent source. VIP Enterprises is selling an auxiliary system and has presented the data in a light most favorable to themselves. Example: The chart claims that no auxiliary system Applies Towed Brakes in true proportions (same as M/H). There are some manufacturers who would disagree with that statement.
- The chart has not been revised in two years (last revision 1-1-02) and as such, some of the information is outdated. How much error in the chart this creates is not easy for me to determine. I would think the MSRP comparison is wrong. I know there are places that list optional equipment which is now standard.
