So having ran into the brake reach issue (resolved now) with 650b conversion made me read into centre pull brakes. Esp this article: http://velo-orange.blogspot.co.uk/2006/06/centerpulls-are-swell.html
Interesting stuff and basically very similar in design to shimano modern direct mounts except centre pull instead of side. Having used DA direct mounts I think they have more power and modulation than standard calipers the reason which now makes sense according to the VO article and other interweb reading.
