Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences. I can totally see where you are coming from. The bite of the Saints on D02S can be exhilarating.
I however did not find the Gold Label MTX pads to be lacking in power compared to them. Maybe I've never had properly working XTs or Saints on my bikes (I still do think Zees were the best shimano brakes)
It is amazing how different one XT brake can feel from another even on the shop floor. please let me squeeze yours if we ever cross paths on the trails! :)
