Interesting thoughts about 2-pot vs 4-pot. I'm a lighter rider living in a fairly flat area riding predominantly easy XC trails. I've found that the XT 2-pot brakes on my old bike had more bite than the SRAM G2 4-pots on my new one.

Both using OEM sintered pads and 180mm front / 160mm rear rotors.. Guess it could be a number of things (e.g. SRAM vs Shimano lever feel) but this article has given me food for thought.
