Paul Klamper v Magura MT5
This is really a bike nerd question...
Would you choose Paul Klampers over Magura MT5's, my MT5's are awesome but they don't have the mechanical brake feel of my Mini Motos or my Moto or Moto Lights but they are STRONG. I've watched all the YouTube videos which heap nothing but praise on them but I really want the no chit DL on them.

Not to sound negative, but I don't think I'd choose either. The Paul brakes are hilariously overpriced for a mechanical brake, and the Magura is almost entry level with a plastic master cylinder.
I really like the Tektro Aquila brakes if you can find them. Very chunky mechanical brakes, and takes the almost standard at this point Shimano pads.
