I moved over to Hopes (T3V4) after coveting them for some time and I have really enjoyed using them. And bleeding them/setup is very very straightforwards - motorcycle brakes basically. The modulation and lever feel are exactly what I wanted and paired with floating rotors, have been consistent all year and a half of testing.
All the parts are always available and Hope even provide 3D print files for additional bleed blocks setups to allow you to move a single piston in and out. Simple and straightforwards to strip down and replace every part once you get a few tools as well.
I've also used Hayes Dominions (which are top notch as well), Code RSCs (very good too but not a fan of the lever feel) and Magura MT7s (jolly nice as well but not a fan of "special proprietary royal blood" and a plastic bleed screw in the lever).
Hopes feel and act as I wanted but I was ready to go back to Hayes if they didn't perform and bleed well. Now I'm looking at the Tech4s.....
