have to agree, descending on a (working) disc setup really is great, feels far better than rim brakes - almost more "solid" with great modulation.. if that makes sense

Yeah, I agree. With hydraulics it feels like, with the lever in your hand, that you are directly controlling the friction between the tyre and the road and not the friction between rims and brake pads (rim brakes) or brake rotors and brake pads (mechanical discs)

exactly this. its great

That's a great way of describing it, in fact exactly word for word.

I usually describe it as rims brakes, you worry about the braking limitation, whether with disc brakes, you worry about the tyres limitation, the latter is always better to worry about.
