It depends (never an easy answer right?).
I think the Magura is a better brake on the trail (power and feel) full stop.
Don’t forget to factor in the cost of replacement pads in your brake math though.
What’s your TRP support like? They’re theoretically fully serviceable/rebuildable but having had to bodge a couple Quadiem MCs back together I feel the small parts support may be location specific. Their theoretical serviceability would not be a factor in my purchasing decision here and that’s why they aren’t mentioned in my article alongside SRAM, Hope, Hayes, and Formula here.
