I was trying to convey the fact that I had lost faith in Hope brakes...I loved my old E4's, but the replacements were pants, hence my move to other brands such as Shimano and Formula.
I also don't like the machined finish because to me it looks dated, I think Formula make some of the best looking brakes. The Shimano brake levers are pig ugly but the ergonomics are great, the blade feels perfect and they work pretty damn well too.
