Have you tried sintered Shimano Saint pads with the Quadiems? I find it makes a big difference to the initial bite just as switching to Formula's sintered pads is a notable difference on the Cura.
I loved The Ones back in the day and I love the ROR. To me the Cura is a natural evolution - and nicely more affordable - evolution from those designs. Then again memory is funny.
In both cases, personal preference is going to come up. I like that the systems have a more gradual - the harder I pull the harder they brake - power curve compared to SRAM or Shimano brakes that initial more boldly thanks to their initial pad-travel magic.
Knipex, big crescent wrench, or dedicated rotor truing tool - I'm a fan of tweaking rotors to cooperate.
