Well, since I kind of shit on this thread with my fail report it's only fair that I update to say I'm giving them another chance.
I temporarily replaced the broken front with a Shimano M8000 while I figured out which way I wanted to go with brakes. I do like the more precise mechanical feel and smaller size of the Shimano levers but I missed the power and modulation enough that I went ahead and ordered a replacement lever for the Magura's.
If I break another one I'll likely move on... but they really do perform THAT well.
