Timed vs inertia brake controllers
Our TV has a Reese sumthin sumthin timed brake controller, for use on up to 4 axle trailers. Are we destined to crash and burn due to not having the other style?

Personally. I like my Prodigy. It is simple. Set, and forget. I started with a Voyager, and went to the Prodigy. The Voyager did what it was supposed to do. The Prodigy just does it a lot smoother. No jerking in traffic, or backing.
I like the boost, that is does lead with the TT brakes, but if it doesn't feel any deceleration, it turns them loose instantly. Boost 1 is 255 of brakes, and b2 is 35, so it doesn't lock them, just gets them started.
The best thing. When coming to a stop, as you get slowed down, and less braking is needed, as decoration is less, it feels it, and only sends the needed amount of braking, where the timed controllers send more as long as you have the pedal down.
Our Voyager wouldn't release the brakes at a stop until the pedal was completely released, and so it jerked a lot. Now TV, and TT stop as one, no jerk, no push, no pull.
I couldn't imagine how anything could be better
