The problem is that you don't always have a choice of what brakes your trailer comes with. The other issue is that electric DRUM brakes aren't even in the ballpark of electric over hydraulic DISC brakes. A large portion of trailers these days that come with surge brakes are also disc setups.

So if you have disc surge brakes and you upgrade to electric over hydraulic, you end up with the best trailer brakes you can buy. Far better/stronger/more efficient than electric drum brakes.

If you have DRUM surge brakes, you're screwed. haha.
