There are aftermarket triggers available for Difalco controllers, I know several people that use them. In my opinion an endorsement by a person that only has tried one of the controllers in question has limited value to a person that is trying to choose between them.
No matter how good your lap times are in the long run you will not be happy with a controller that does not feel comfortable in your hand, that is one reason that I recommend trying a controller for your self. Many controllers use Parma grips, if you already have a Parma controller you will at least have a rough idea about how one of those will feel. Other controllers, like the ones by Professor Motor use the Slotworks grips and there is a third style that Truspeed uses that is similar to the Parmas.
One last thing to consider is how durable or reliable a controller might be. If you only do casual running/racing that would not be quite as important, if you are a more serious racer you would not want to have a controller fail in the middle of a major event. Difalco controllers are quite robust, in addition they have a diode and circuit breaker that protect against misconnections and short circuits. Other controllers might only have a fuse. If you blow a fuse during a race your day will probably be over, even if you have a spare handy.
