Pricepoint has these on sale until 12/31. I bought a set, couldn't resist, as that is like 1/2 the price of other 4 piston options.

Was really close to getting a set of these, but decided on the Hayes Stroker Trail at JensonUSA for $69 each.

Both deals are pretty dang good.

The Jenson deal is a real steal

I agree, except they are only 160mm brakes, so if you want something bigger you still need adapters and rotors.

And the Trails have levers that are designed to bend like butter upon slight impacts

A friend bent his on his first ride. If you look at the lever design, you notice that there is cross sectional strength at the lever closest to the pivot. Fortunately the bend was fixable using a blowtorch, but that's still a pretty poor design for a lever.

I ride an 09 Reign and weigh 175. The brakes grab hard. The modulation is as good as the Elixers. I am running a 203 front rotor with a 180 rear.
