Hi Jerry,
I fitted the Beringer wheel 6 years ago and I am very happy with the performance as the braking is progressive without being too powerful. Make sure you get the pressure limiter which is what provides that feel.
My system came with the stick mounted brake lever, I hesitated to send it back but thought I would give it a try especially as Beringer offered to swap it if I wasn’t happy with it.
It took several flights to get used to it because initially you feel like you should be doing something with the right hand but once accustomed to it it’s really pleasant for just that reason. It frees up your hand to do other tasks when taxiing but giving you constant control over your braking inputs.
I used the 7” Air Trac tyre on my mono.
As David pointed out an issue could be if you instruct on your aircraft but that’s not something I envisage doing. I suppose you could add a second brake on the other stick but it would increase cost and add weight and you wouldn’t want the uninitiated playing with it!
If you have had several pinch punctures you can’t be far from a prop strike with a fully compressed gear and compressed tyre.

Here is how my centrally mounted brake lever looks. There is a park brake button just out of view on pax side of installation. Ergonomic inasmuch as very close to throttle. Installation fairly complicated but well within abilities of anyone who has built his plane. I am not an instructor but have found myself flying from R hand seat on a number of occasions over the years and as we all get older and probably do more buddy flying it is comforting for either pilot to have ability to land the plane.
