At the moment only the front brake is working, rear brake and shifting cables are yet to be installed. The front pads have to dialed in as well. So I can't share any real world experiences at the moment. However, I have ridden one of the framebuilder's bicycles with brazed on Mafac Racers, and braking was on par with dual pivots.
I might have to play with the straddle cable length to find the right balance in leverage / obtain the same performance. Setup of dual pivots is much easier.
