Do the pull ratios work though? This is one of those things that people whinge about as Shimano changed (brake) pull ratio at some stage, so you can't always use old brakes with new levers, resulting in crap braking with certain combos. I would check before you buy anything

That’s a good point to consider. Unfortunately I do not have much info on that.

the different pull ratio thing is a have - Shimano just love to sell people unneeded components...
Think about the huge number of companies that have proprietary brakes (Giant have their 'Aero' bikes released with TRP brakes, Bontrager bits on Treks, various weenie component makers etc.) which are used with shimano brake levers from whichever generation, AND Campagnolo / SRAM etc. too.
Just stick the best quality silver brakes on that you can find, with the best brake pads that you can find. It'll work wonderfully!
