I ran a griner for a few years. Awesome Brake but its a button reverser. Its not that big of deal to get used to especially if the brake button is on the shifter

As I said before, u can wire in a switch so u don't have to hold the button in. Very simple. I thought the same switch that activated the brake activates reverse when in the neutral position. Please pardon my ignorance on these as I've never owned one.

Pushing the button for reverse becomes no big deal after a little use.
If you bottom bulb race a fast transbrake is not what I would suggest.

I run a A&A LBA VB with Brake. Sets solid at idle and super fast, almost too fast for bottom bulbin' IMHO even in my 3780lb sled. Great for pro tree. Tried to slow it down with a Just-in-Time long throw button and learned quick, there is no magic wand, you still gotta pay attention to cut good lights Also like others have said, I just wired in a toggle switch in near the shifter for reverse. Throw shifter in R or N, flip switch and back up all day long. Pull shifter in to 1st without flipping switch off?? no biggie, it will let you know as car won't move 'til you flip it off. The A&A valve body has been great but, purchased before John Cope came out with his, otherwise would have seriously considered it as well. Also, haven't footbraked it since installing transbrake,,,more fun leaving matted with the button

I have a Turbo Action pro brake in my 727. It has no LBA and doesn't require you to push the button for reverse. I think the TA is one of, if not the only pro brake that doesn't require the button to be pushed for reverse.

Hook up a micro switch so the switch hits the shifter arm when you put it in reverse.. like a lot of aftermarket shifters use for a neutral safety switch

If you still have the factory 3 prong neutral switch the outer 2 polls are for activating the reverse lights. so if you power up one side and the other to the trans brake terminal as soon as you put into reverse it activates brake no need for another button or switch.

Has anyone ran Copes new brake? I bought one for the new tranny, I have not tried it yet but it's a nice looking and designed unit, it is a button reverse transbrake valve body with lba.
