I've seen what must be last year's for around £140 a set vs £170 or more for the current version. Any reason to pay more for the latest?

Given the wobbles with some of the older versions, I suspect there's been reliability tweaks

Supplementary question...

These are for a bike currently running 185mm Avids, will I need different adaptors (post mount fork). Presumably I will need some sort of +20mm Shimano mount, front and rear?

...or will the avid ones (or Hope) do the job?
