Brake Smart with 5R100 tow/haul? Or adjust the Prodigy (more gain)?

I have been doing some reading up on the Brake Smart. It seems like a good idea & the reviews have been good. I am curious to know if any of you are using it with the 5R100 tran. in tow/haul mode.

I ask because I used a the Prodigy on my 4R100 equipped truck & like it. My current truck, 2004 F350 with 5R100, is also equipped with the Prodigy. The problem is that it doesn't seem to work as well in the tow/haul mode as when the tow/haul isn't engaged.

I did set the controller up without the tow/haul mode engaged. I guess that I could up the gain on the controller but.... It just seems the Brake Smart would be a better solution.

Thought? Opinions?

You're right. The BrakeSmart is a better solution.

I've been towing with mine for over a year now. Wouldn't use anything else.
