Hope RX4 Calipers Gut Check

Looking for a gut check. Help me out.

I'm probably going to order the flat mount Shimano version of the Hope RX4 four piston calipers.

Reference: https://www.hopetech.com/products/br...d/rx4-caliper/

These will replace RS805 calipers and be used with existing R785 levers. I'm hoping for better feel and less lever travel. Reviews seem pretty positive.

New wheels with centerlock hubs are being built. The old wheels are six bolt and so new rotors are on order. With new wheels and rotors I feel like this is the time to also do the calipers.

Are pads readily available?
Anyone have fitment issues?
Are there any criticisms of these parts?
Is there something better?

What am I missing? What other questions should I be asking?
