[Closed] What brakes for downhill?

I went from SLX back to Avid elixir 3s and I'm much happier! Just something I really love about the avid lever feel and bite point. Shimano levers feel too skinny and the bite point is miles in. The shimanos felt less wooden though but I'd rather have the comfort of the lever. Power is about the same as well.

Have you had much time on them recently?
