Yeah there are definately some issues to solve on Shimano brakes. I just shared my experience, but I did not mean to say that in the sense that people don't bleed their brakes properly. I've read many people having those wandering bite point issues and most of them were good mechanics.
I guess I was lucky with my sets (slx m7000 and XT M785), but I've read the same about the master cylinder walls getting used up because of the internal finish, the ceramic pistons cracking, mc bladder ruptures, etc.
If money was no object, I would have liked to try TRP's DHR EVOs (or Trickstuffs, but that's another unreacheable step up), but for the price I could get the MT5s and most reviews I had read, the Maguras seemed like the best choice. It's always fun to try new bike parts anyway, isn't it?!
