I felt the same way Ron, even after I bought the pedal. I was on my way back to the Monaco parts trailer at a rally to return it when I ran into Jerry and Ardra. They convinced Chris and me to keep it and to have it installed. We weren't easily convinced, but we're really glad they persevered.
Having both the rocker switch and the pedal available has allowed us to evaluate one against the other on the same long downhill grades and there's no comparison in the way they function. With the pedal, the driver determines when the PacBrake is applied, not the accelerator position. This also allows the driver to override the arbitrary request to downshift to 2nd gear, making for much smoother braking.
If you or Sam tried it, I'm sure you'd appreciate the difference.
