Not much reason to go mechanical when you can get those instead for the same price or cheaper.
Unless you are riding a down hill bike or weigh 300+lbs there isn't much of a reason to go quad piston.
Thanks this feedback does help! I weigh 173 most days, my bike is about 36 and I carry a backpack weighing up to 21 lbs.
I am no into touring but don't want to rule it out. Even then, I don't see getting up to the 300 lb mark, even fully laden with gear
