I LOVE the feel of my Hope Tech 3 V4s but they're a dirty sonofabitch to bleed and keep feeling on-point. My MT5s feel "almost" as good and are a snap to bleed/almost never need service. I also like the fact that they're mineral oil rather than DOT. Overall power seems to be pretty similar (203 rotors f/r). The composite levers of the MT5s are also nicer when it's cold out. ;p
My understanding with the MT7s is that they're more adjustable and you can swap in different levers that won't work with the MT5s. I like that in concept but would almost certainly never pay to try them all. \[GREAT article here: [https://www.vojomag.com/test-magura-mt7-4-leviers-3-paires-de-plaquettes-et-2-disques-sur-le-terrain/](https://www.vojomag.com/test-magura-mt7-4-leviers-3-paires-de-plaquettes-et-2-disques-sur-le-terrain/)\] The brakes themselves cost about double so it's a tough sell for me. I'll stick with my MT5s until something truly compelling comes along.
