They're better, a lots less flex since it's forged, not machined, not as simple to adjust with v-brake pads, but once set up, can be ridiculously powerful.
Straddle cable from a gear cable instead of brakes make a big difference in performance too, I just need to ride it in the rain to stop it squealing (a common issues with new Mafac style pads that required a short breaking in period).

Nearly done, ordered the Grand Bois Maes Parallel as the Nitto was a good 10mm too short;
Almost, just almost, took it out for a ride, brakes made the loudest squeal ever but stopping power make the DA feel like a cheap Promax calipers.
