I love my Jordan too, however...

From what I know and understand about the controller it is most like the BrakeSmart - which taps off the master brake cylinder into a pressure transducer, converts pressure to 0-12VDC output which is what the brakes use.

BrakeSmart, to me, is the most pure form of electric braking. It simply takes 1 single input - brake pressure and converts to 0-12VDC output.

Ford has implemented much the same and additionally added other inputs from the PCM (ie: low speed) that BrakeSmart doesnt have access.

Everytime some other input comes from something other than the driver, it takes away control from the driver and shifts to some other force. Not what I would prefer.

The reason I say BrakeSmart is the most pure is it strictly acts on brake pedal pressure - nothing else.

I personally feel there are 3 categories of brake controllers:

- BrakeSmart and Ford Commander
- Jordan and Prodigy
- all others

BS and Ford operate on fluid pressure
Jordan and Prodigy are proportional within the mechanical design - Jordan using a cable connected to the brake pedal and Prodigy using TV change in inertia.

Others use time delay ramp etc and arent in the same league.

My order of preference would be BrakeSmart, Ford, Jordan, Prodigy, others - BrakeSmart only because it is 100% dependent on what I as the driver want to happen.
