I concede that electric brakes do have the advantage of being adjustable from within the cab......as long as the tow vehicle is so equiped. 
Also, regarding the "expensive surge brake actuator", on my 12 year old Trailex, I recently replaced the entire surge unit, for about $140 and an hour's worth of labor. Basically replaces most everything; bolts as a single unit to the trailer tongue and connects to the brakeline. Not exactly what I would call expensive....
