How important is controller quality in e-bike performance?

The controller quietly affects acceleration, efficiency, heat management, and battery usage. However, very few people actually pay attention compared to motors or batteries. Have you ever noticed performance differences just from swapping or upgrading the controller in your ebike?
 
I know this thread is a bit old, but I just swapped the stock controller on my bike for a sine wave one and it felt like a totally different ride
The acceleration got way smoother and the motor barely gets warm now
Did you end up trying a different controller, Justin? I’d love to hear if it changed your battery range at all
 
I’ve definitely noticed a smoother ride and better battery range just from switching controllers. A good one really unlocks your motor’s potential without draining power
