Ah...those SCX-5s look to be a similar design to the Tektro Oryx cantis the other half has on her Surly - was always impressed by the power and modulation they had, but wondered if it was because they were paired up with Tektro leavers. Glad they work for you.
I'm just about happy with the 720s now - I could lower the straddle cable further at the front as its still above the fork crown and the rear is still running the stock pads. A disc fork and Travel Agent for an XT V brake at the back are in the works though so I'll probably stop mucking around with them as the entire set-up is going to change.
