Yeah, gotta love those Pauls. They really do feel inexplicably great. Even though they're a little bit smushy, it comes across as modulation and not slop, because there's always more braking power to be had with more lever travel. With the extra bearings, these Dia Compes approach that feel. Many other brakes I find will flex and smush the harder you apply them, but the power doesn't go up as you pull the lever further.
