I don't find them as good as the new Juicy 7s I had a few years back - they share the same features (although reach adjustment isn't tool free on the Juicys) they seem to lack a bit of bite and aren't as easy to modulate as the 7s. However, on the plus side, they are loads simpler to change pads, retract pistons etc

Swings and roundabouts.....
