I've found the Magura levers/MCs to be pure garbage. They flex noticeably, and once the tiny seal they have to equalize pressure in the reservoir (the one sitting against the handlebar) goes bad, they become a leaky mess.
I guess they work well if you aren't prone to crashing, but once that plastic stops being fantastic, they become completely unreliable, and replacement/warranty isn't cheap or viable.
Most mid-pack Specialized bikes used to sport them, and after watching my friend (who owns a bike shop) bitch about them for so long I'd avoid them like the plague.
