I had a Straggler and I really didn't like the flex in the front end when I was braking hard. It probably doesn't help the actual braking either. Curved blades bring comfort but it's too much of a compromise when discs are involved IMHO.
Strange, you'd expect the fork to not flex at all since the forces on the caliper are opposite to the direction of "rough road forces"
