I went from Shimano BR-R550's (which worked fine but had a fairly low, fixed straddle cable) to Paul Neo-Retro front / Touring rear. the Pauls are a thing of beauty if you appreciate mechanical / machining type stuff and the straddle wire clears my Nitto Mini, but I find them somewhat finicky to dial in. Maybe it's my amateur mechanic skills, but it's very easy to lockup and skid the rear and the front is so powerful that it flexes the headset hanger and fork to the point that the front wheel shudders under hard braking.
