Put Saints on about 5 months ago on 2 bikes after a few issues with the XT ones. Been perfect ever since but I guess Winter will be the test.

I remeber looking into this and came up with the same answer as you. Saint have longer screw threads, come in different colours and typically cost less. Everything else is the same!

If memory serves they're actually slightly different inside. But performance seems identical in normal use- same sort of deal as XTR.

Yes there is. XTs are on/off without a lot of modulation, whereas Saints are much more modulated and very much more powerful if needed. Been running them on my full suss for over a year, while HT has XTs still

If you are riding long steep and technical downhills then Saints are a step up and worth getting
