I think the new ones autolevel.
I don't normally play with the level knob on my controller either.

However, I have noticed that I can fine tune the difference between light braking and hard braking with that knob. I've had things feeling good with a low setting on the level and a high gain while braking lightly, only to find that under hard braking there wasn't enough trailer brake. Adjusting the level knob more aggressively allows you to run less gain and have better overall brake performance across all types of braking conditions.

It's just something to play with until it feels "good".
