just my two sense!

Ian, that's how I have mine installed. When the rule changed, I removed my button from the console and installed it in the pedal.
No special switch, no concern over installing in front or rear hydraulics, no concern over front to rear bias, and no pressure guage.
Just step on the brake and simultaneously activate the switch.
