I think this also might be something that cyclists that are also motorcyclists have a different opinion on. I just got 105 hydraulics on my gravel bike when I switched from Tektro & a flat bar to drop bar and Shimano. The Tektro's were okay. Good lever travel and I could modulate the brakes really well with them not going back more than say 2/3 of the way to the bar. The Shimanos as setup "by the book" are complete crap. They don't even give any lever feel until the are all the way to the bar. I don't know that I could even lock them up if I tried.
I'm used to hydraulic brakes feeling a certain way, but that's because I road motorcycles and road raced them for about 30 years. It's north of 15x weight wise of my bicycle, but with bigger calipers, discs, pistons, pad area, etc. That is the feel I want from my discs on my bicycle, obviously within reason based on the platform.
