I just got some Hope brakes (likewise for flat bars), and they are ace. I took them to a bike shop to fit them, the mechanic said "I have the same brakes, but the version from the early 2000's. They are still going strong" which filled me with a lot of confidence.

Thanks.
Went for the Hope X2’s in the end.
They’re better than I ever remember Hope brakes being.
Currently trying to talk myself out of upgrading the MTB brakes to some new Hope Tech 4. -
+1 for Hope.
I’ve got a set of Mono Minis from 2004 which I sent off to Hope to be rebuilt last year, got them back in as-new condition for £50.
About to send a pair of 2007 models for the same treatment. No other maker backs their old brakes like this as far as I know.

Hope were about £100 dearer.
I bit the bullet and ordered some Hopes. As you say, at least if I suffer with leaking callipers like Shimano seem to then I can rebuild them.
