Thats some B-**** there. I will say that getting them bled is key, and a hard thing to do if you follow the instructions. If you reference many of the threads on RM you'll have your "The Ones" bled perfectly in no time. I've had mine for a year and a half, and haven't bled them since after I got them. I ride DH 5 days a week, and just switch pads. The Levers are tough as hell, the power and modulation is tops, they are very adjustable, and the overall quality of them is much nicer then any other brake I've owned.
When the pads are completely shot the lever does get a little spongy, but thats the same with any other brake, and most LB's don't carry the pads, but you've got to mail order your parts anyway.
If "The Ones" are overkill Formula makes lots of other great brakes.

Good luck

As far as Formulas go... They're the Alfa of MTB brakes. It's precisely what every owner (including me in the olden days) of formulas has kept insisting on - that you just have to bleed them properly - while standing in the formula mechanics line - every single weekend
