I tested various configurations for Shiguras and non-ServoWave levers have better action and tons of power. Since most folks are assembling Shiguras using SW levers but without trying both options that's the only point I was looking to make.
Power aside, just talking Shimano, the non-SW levers feel better. I haven’t tried the T8000, but the M4100 levers in particular are excellent and share architecture so I’m certain they’re great. The levers blades are significantly longer which means a lot more leverage on the piston. Enough to make up the difference with SW? Don’t know, but they’re long!
