I agree, the newer Shimano levers work a lots better with disc brakes nowadays due to the difference in cable pull (compared to the older 10 speed 105/Ultegra/etc.).
I've been building up quite a fair number of bicycles with various brakes recently, from BB7 to HY/RD, and so far, the CX77 is the easiest and simplest to set up, it already felt quite good with normal housing, even my Tektro Lyra* which was reportedly one of the worse road cable-pull brakes was great with 5800 levels (with normal housing).
Gonna put Yokozuna Reaction on the bike and see how much of a difference it'll make.
*as long you ditch the original wavy rotors.
Are those Ultegra CX77?
I'm getting some for my new carbon road disc bikes (paired with 105 levers), I reckon I can get it to bite as sharp as a dual pivot brakes.
