Hey Kris, so the P2 # 90885 and P3 # 90195 at their core are the same exact brake controller but the P3 has a lot more "deluxe" features. For example, it has a display that uses full words instead of short two letter codes, has ability to change the color of the display, save trailer settings for multiple trailers, and has a diagnostic function that is way easier to understand.

Hey Kris, did the extra features of the P3 help you decide which brake controller to go with? I'm curious to know what you chose, as it could help others in a similar situation.
