They're probably fiddlier to set up. But I suspect that in a blind test, 95% of people would be unable to tell the difference from one to the other. They're basically just a metal stick with a pivot on one end and a clamp/cable stop on the other end. Anyone with enough grip strength to cause either to bend significantly either needs to take up Olympic weightlifting or reconsider their solitary lifestyle.

The forces involved are bigger than you think, thanks to the mechanical advantage of the levers. The strength test in the safety standard implies a reaction at the pad/rim interface of about 4kN
Probably not that good, but 926 at £15 for two brakes from PlanetX makes them 10% of the price of CX9s, so just being half as good makes them better value🙂
