Hit'n'Hopes? I'd rather stick with what I know, it's not exactly been fun all the time but I now know a fair amount about Magura, have all the tools, and can make the system work quite well.
I'm also familiar with what bike shop mechanics call "perfect" when it comes to Maguras, and (to me, who can feel a magura calliper through 20 mattresses) I'd say in reality they've got to "works", which is a long way off what these brakes should feel like.
I got hold of Magura service who are sending me out a replacement lever (bypassing the shop, who, it turns out, kept hold of my lever for four months before posting it) for the end of the week.
