Jason -
Good deal. I'm glad things felt fairly normal. On a straight and level paved road, a leisurely stop will indeed tend to feel normal. Now try it on a curve, or wet road, or sand from a construction site, or in an emergency situation. It will not feel normal.
I'm glad you are getting a controller - you will never regret it. Again, spend the few extra bucks for "proportional" or "inertial".
And finally, be aware that a 4-pin to 7-pin converter does NOT enable the electric brakes. It simply brings the right turn, left turn, running lights, and ground from the original connector into the trailer. No brakes, no backup lights, and no battery charge line.
