I Like the MT5s, but they've not been problem free for me. On ride \#2, one lever had a leak past the master cylinder meaning a slow and steady pull on the brakes would pull to the bar. Boxing and shipping them off for warranty was the same cost as a new Shimano lever... so bye bye warranty. A little tougher to set up rub-free, but worth it for high-leverage without some silly servo-wonky leverage curve. Ample and intuitive, predictable braking power for me. Curious to try TRP, Formula or Hayes, but might still go for the MT5 again because even with imperfections I think it's competitive in the price:performance metric.
