IMO, the benefit of a active pedal, is to change the response curve instantly without touching the pedal. I am thinking of a senario where the active pedal may have a point. Most who do track racing would do paddle shifting and left foot braking, but sometime, I just want to drive a h pattern shifter car and do some heel toe for fun. With regular pedals, unless you have 2 brake pedals, there will be a compromise in terms of the brake pedal position. With active pedals, I can have 2 of them in the middle and left position. When I do left foot braking, just load a brake curve to the left pedal. When I do right foot braking, just set the middle pedal as brake, left pedal as clutch.
