Let me explain a little before you tell me 'just buy the saint lever'..
I have seen lots of people rolling around on the new m820 saints, but ive also noticed that some people pair xtr/xt/slx/zee levers with their new saint calipers, and they like it better than the saint lever.. now that confuses the hell outta me because you would think saint and zee are optimized specifically for 4 pot brakes (total fluid volume, displacement coming out of the lever, etc etc), and all the other 2 pot levers wouldn't suffice for the saint/zee caliper.
So, if theres anyone out there running the new m820 calipers, but with a different lever, please let me know why you did it!
It also seems logical to try this since i can get the saint caliper for a decent price, and all the levers are super affordable (with the exception of the xtr lever).. i did the math and it would be pretty much the same money wise for me to buy zee/slx/xt levers with the m820 caliper and bling out on jagwire line, where as i can just buy the saint brake set and not be blingin, and not know what the other levers feel like on the saint..
seems like a win/win right???
