According to the specs you have Tektro MD-C510. The dual piston model is MD-C550.

I'm pleased with my Spyres. They aren't "power brakes" as hydraulics are sometimes described but they work well, are quiet and require no more hand effort than good double pivot calipers with Kool Stop Salmon pads.
I had TRP Spyres for a long time, I agree that they are very good brakes. Then people recommended Juin Tech in this thread:

My experiences after the upgrade: definitely worth it,

The OP also has QR wheels, hydraulic system will better adjust to it. If the wheel is slightly off one of the pistons will just extend further.
I went with Juin Tech instead of the HY/RD because of the shorter level throw.
Of course there is price difference, a pair of MD-C550's will be $90-100 and Juin Tech F1's are $170-200 for a pair.
