Hi Jim,

While I haven't tried the Jordan Ultima 2000, I have used the Voyager and
the Prodigy.

Without a doubt, the Prodigy is a super brake controller.  Works as well in
forward or reverse.  In applications where you don't want the reverse
braking, you can disable it.  Fully fabricated umbilical adapters are
available for most applications.  Mine being the '02 Ford F250.

Take a look at the ramp sequence of the Prodigy as compared with other
inertial type controllers.

If simplicity is worth merit, the Prodigy has one of the simplest setup
routines I've encountered.  Easiest to adjust to given road conditions.  You
can easily adjust the aggressiveness of the braking by choosing more or less
with the push of a button.  This is important because cold brakes on my
trailer act differently than those warm or hot.  Cold brakes seem to be
pretty grabby; whereas, warm/hot brakes seem to be more forgiving.  I can
reduce the aggressiveness easily and quickly with the push of a single
button.  Later, I can return the more aggressive settings when the brakes
are warmed.

With my Ford, there was an equipment pocket in the dash between the ashtray
and the steering wheel.  I made a special mount that slides into the pocket
and secures the controller.  I just slip a blade in the pocket and it
releases the mount.  Otherwise, it just stays in place.  Didn't require
holes in the dash, or other cutouts.

Anyway, you can tell that I'm pretty high on the controller.

Don't know if any of this helps, but I got my clue as to what to purchase
from the list contributors.  Sure made the right choice for me.

                      Regards, Joy
