Shimano 5800 calipers would be a decent upgrade. They can usually be found second hand for less than £40 or buy new for around £25 each.

What, specifically, are the rims? If they're old/budget, then the brake track could just be shit and you'll have to suck it up.
Compressionless cable housing? Good routing: no tight bends or doubling-back?
Maybe try different pads: not all pads perform well with all rims.
The latest Shimano calipers do have increased mechanical advantage, but I doubt your levers pull the same amount of cable as current ones do.

its carbon rim, bianchi branded calliper and prince-swissstop pad (mated to 9 speed ultegra STI).
