Surge brakes make it difficult to back-up. There is also a jolt to the horses. Wait, we're talking German sports cars, not German sports horses.
When the surge brakes are hitting often on down hills they will get hot and lose the capacity for slowing the load. This will make it difficult to slow down when the load starts pushing you downhill while you are trying to stop. Don't ask how I know, I always carry spare undies... Electric brakes give you the option of "tapping" the trailer brakes without braking the tow vehicle. It is only my opinion, but I hate surge brakes FWIW.
