Brake controller question

Has anyone used the Tokenasha Envoy or the DrawTite Intellistop? I like the inertial design without anything but a little **** to turn for the gain adjustment. I also like the price ($65). If it does the same thing as the new style without all the bells and whistles then I think that's what I'll go with. My 10 year old DrawTite Activator II just recently quit working - no braking juice.

I like my Tenkonsh because it is simple to adjust the gain on the fly. With a full trailer (water, beer and food), I'll turn it up a bit in town for more braking then eas her back when I get on the highway. Then on the return trip after dumping, I have it cut back to two or three lights.
I'd say the most important thing is to get the level set correctly or nothing will work right..

I know the new style intertial controllers have the auto adjustment for hills, but I figure with the amount of hills I see (almost none) here in the Midwest and the amount of towing I do, it should work great. I plan to mount it on the overhead between the map lights so I can reach up and hit the panic button or turn the little **** to gain or loosen up the gain. This is what I'm looking at:
