English term or phrase: if slightly controversial
Mi sfugge il significato nel contesto della frase; forse 'if' deve essere sostituito con 'even if'

CONTESTO:

nonche' leggeramente controverso


Explanation:
Secondo me, l'uso di 'nonche' e' piu' adatto perche' e' un fattore che e' aggiunto. Inoltre, nonche' da piu' emfasis sulla parola.

forse che suscita polemiche sarebbe piu' appropriata che 'leggeramnete controverso'. Controverso- e' troppo inglese?

una gamma di controverse ma informative brochure


Explanation:
solo un'idea in più per un altro possibile "giro" di frase

nell'ipotesi "standard" invece tradurrei: brochure che, pur essendo (un poco/whatever) controverse, sono informative

e si, il tuo even è sottointeso (benché)
