Brian,

We have had both the M & G braking system and now the SMI AF-One. Both are very similar.

If I understand correctly, the M & G has a pump on the master cyliner, the AF-One installs a hook to the brake pedal through the firewall. Works perfectly.

The reason why we went with the AF-One on the new Honda is that the engine compartment had changed from our 2007 Honda. The M & G could have been installed on the 2013 Honda but would have needed 8 hrs. of labor vs. a couple of hours with the AF-One.

Both work well.

We went from an EvenBrake to the AirForce One. It really makes it difference. When I press the brakes on my coach the toad breaks come on immediately in the same amount of pressure. A side benefit is the engine braking doesn't engage the toad brakes like it does on other systems. With my DP coach the brake lights come on when the engine brake is active. This will activate most proportional toad braking systems causing premature brake wear on the toad brakes. The AirForce One system does not suffer from this problem.

Not AF One, but I have the SMI Stay-n-play and I'm very happy with it.
