I've not personally ridden a set of the original Zee/Saint 4 pistons, but I did spec a set for a big guy 6'5", 250lbs and when I installed them I was actually very under whelmed by their power when just doing an initial quick pedal outside to lightly bed/test the. Fast forward nearly a year later when the guy brought the bike back for a service and Holy Hell, I could not believe the power compared to my XT 2 pistons, nearly went OTB when I test rode it and grabbed a handful of front brake expecting the same results after initial setup - guess they need proper bedding in compared to regular XTs with resin pads.
