i'm sure hope may have got better but I moved to shimano as a result of the mono mini and mono M4's. I'm not moving back anytime soon.
I think they have - my comment regarding the Moo M4's fading was in response to a previous comment about them. My experience is that anything with the Mini lever is utter rubbish.
It was about this time that Shimano made some great brakes - four pot XT's original Saints etc.
I've got sets of the 2007 style Minis & the same era M4s with the mini levers & love them - don't do any big mountain stuff i.e. Alps trips etc. but i've never found them wanting on trail centres or munro type descents - had SLX (675) & found them a bit wooden although there seemed to be plenty of power, i'm also a fan of the slightly industrial look of the Hope stuff... saying that - if I needed new brakes next week it'd be hard not to take a punt on the XTs at £100 a set.
