I'm also 155lbs, so I don't think I need the thicker rotors and general burliness of the TRPs, but those less tangible things like customer service do matter.
I work with my hands and it's funny how a couple hours of chicken-dragging the brakes brings more soreness than a full day of hammering stone. That's why I want powerful DH brakes even though I ride uphill as much as down.
I'm really interested to hear your take after riding both, if I don't pull the trigger before then!
