I have Magura MT2's at the moment as they came with the bike, however I find that compared to my old XT brakes they feel somewhat under powered, even with a larger disk on the front.

So other than XT/XTR what else should I be looking at? Formula look interesting and come in at good weights.

Very happy with my Formula RO's. More power/better modulation than the Tech M4's they replaced. Did get them for £280 for a full set from Merlin but think they've gone up again.
Might be tempted with these if I needed new brakes: http://www.merlincycles.com/formula-r1-disc-brakes-f-r-set-44905.html

hmm interesting link thanks. Wonder which way the levers they are set up as I've moved to Euro style now.

They'll be UK style I would imagine. RH-front. I managed to shorten mine without needing a bleed so should be able to swap the levers over without too much trouble.
