I've never been a fan of Tekonsha, had issues with a couple. I have a Haynes Genesis and I love it, seamless, no jerking, pretty much automatic. It works beautify no matter the weight of the trailer, i've used it on a single axle 15' empty and loaded, and on a 15k fifth wheel and no issues.

They are the same control. Tekonsha removed the self leveling device and turbo boost feature from the Prodigy and put a manual lever on the right side of the Primus to tell which way was down and to increase braking. The also gave it a little less amperage 1-3 brake axle compared to the 1-4 brake axles of the Prodigy. It was basically designed to compete against the newer a better controls hitting the market that were having to take a price cut because of the Prodigy's strong name. Technically the Primus is the P2 that is why their big brother is called the P3.
