End of the plowing season, for the most part, so I figured I'd update my thoughts.
The joystick controller was the big winner for this, was a lot more intuitive in operation than the dash switch. Only issue, as I figured would happen, was bumping the joystick when shifting. I may add a controller power switch to deactivate it when not plowing.
Having the limit switch for plow height was great, never had to worry about over retracting and damaging the cable. Worth the money.
Even the rebuilt reinforced bracket took a slight bend it in. There is a little bit of space now at the back end of the bracket between the push tube. Haven't fully decided what I plan to do. I have a few ideas on how to redesign the bracket to be beefier. Other option is to look for other actuators/rams, one that fits better (i.e. 3" shorter) so I don't have to run an offset bracket.
The angling speed, well, that's more of a what can you live with thing. While its not absolutely horribly slow, its not quick either. If I was using this in a commercial setting or had to change angles a lot more than I do, it'd be a problem. Although in the case of commercial use, I'd be able to justify the cost of a V-Plow. I may solve this issue and the bracket issue by replacing the electric actuator that I have with an electric-hydraulic ram.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. Definitely worth the time and money I put in to it. Figure about $550 and a solid shop day or two building and installing it. A little bit of tweaking and it'll be solid.
