Bottom Line:
I ride Mountain Bike Action, July 08 and they give 5 stars for this brake.
Then I bought a Louise BAT and I think is the perfect brake for Cross Country and all mountain.
It has excellent power, set up, modulation, no fade in downhills and of course no noise at all.

Bottom Line:
I really like this brakes. I've been using the XT for around 3 years and I liked them. I think that the Louises have about the same power, but are easier to modulate.
I think this brakes are an excelent choice right now.
