I don't like them, they're ugly (no offense), looking to spruce it up.
The XCM brakes are the standard DiaCompe low profile design that Shimano copied.

I think they're pretty spiffy looking when they're cleaned up- but then again, the XC Pro cantis are my favorite brake.

If you're lucky, the Tektro 720 will work on there, unless you want to hunt down some XC Pros...
