Exactly - good brakes are something you can ride without, but can make you faster and safer I suppose. I feel like the added power isn't overwhelming once you learn to modulate, but it can fuck you up pretty quickly if you grab a hand full of brake in a panic!
I've been running the damper for about six months now, and honestly can't imagine not having one on an MTB. Smooths out corners, helps you hold a line, tracks straighter, further eliminates arm pump. Only downside is a bit of faffing if your headset comes loose (and of course, the price).

That was the thing I noticed more from my Hope T4s, not the power as such, but the lack of arm pump because the power is easier to access with less effort
Interested to hear how you get on with the steering stabiliser too, I watched a video with Jack Moir trying one out. Seems like the Next Big Thing for MTBs
