This is my first time on discs but I have to say they give you lots of confidence.
I haven't tried the Avid ones but these ones surely work, there is lots of modulation and the levers do travel quite a bit in comparison with rim brakes, but I have it so that it locks at half way through between lever and bar.
I haven't really done any long descents so I don't know anything in that matter.
I'll write a few words when I have more k's on it.
