I tried a Brillion when we first started. It was a failure in our Nevada soils - if the soil had enough moisture to keep the seed from blowing out, it would stick to the rollers on the Brillion and make a big, patchy mess out of the field. Your mid-west soils might act very differently.

In the end, a 12' Great Plains no-till drill did the best job at alfalfa, small grains, and grass.
