I almost didn't post about what I use for a brake controller because I figured I would get this type of response!
I am not running down the Prodigy controller, I was just stating that I get excellent control with the Energize III. I drive in the Ozark mountains on roads that compare with those found in the western mountains. The grades may not be as long but are just as steep and twisted.
Quote:
Pendulum type controllers are proportional on level ground but grossly overapply the trailer brakes on steep descents (the pendulum is affected by both gravity and deceleration).

I agree that the pendulum is affected by both gravity and deceleration. I don't agree with the "grossly overapply" portion of the statement. I assume that you must have done a side by side comparison of the Prodigy and the Energizer III products to make such a statement.
One last question. What solid state product does the Prodigy controller use that provides proportional braking while canceling out the grade component of driving? Something has to point down!
