The XT that I had was a stranger to "bite", I never really had any confidence in it, even after fully bedded in.
I switched from Avid Juicy Five with 160mm rotors to Avid Juicy Carbon with 180mm rotors after a trip to Brechfa, and found that the added stopping power did not reduce the modulation to any noticeable degree.
