I have a pretty good idea of the forces involved. After all, they wouldn't work in slowing you down otherwise. However, it's a fairly short lever, and even the 926AL is a fairly chunky piece of aludiddlium. I'm sure there is a difference, but whether it would actually be discernable to mere mortals, I'd need convincing by some fairly solid FEA work or real life experience, neither of which I have.

Maybe you're too rich ever to have used cheap brakes, but you can certainly feel the difference. From the look of things the "real life experience" is going to be of the class (and possibly order) of Weinmann 500 vs. Shimano BR-6800. If the back tyre is off the ground before the front brake lever hits the bars, the brakes are adequate, but your fleet is full of things which are nice rather than simply adequate.

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
