I used to use the magura for my front, and switched to the brembo... I like the consistant feel of the brembo over the magura... They are both great masters like was stated above, and I am no endo killer, but prefer the brembo!
This is what I didnt like about the magura:
When doing burnouts/endos or anything that would make the brake fluid get hot, I would get push back from the magura lever that I could actually feel mid trick... And it would get harder mid trick...
The brembo doesnt have the same squish feeling, but it also doesn change the feel as the brake fluid heats up... it always feels the same. A lever shouldnt start to push on your hand, or require you to pull harder to keep the same tension on the brakes... Maybe someone else can describe this better, but I switched and am very happy with my choice.
As far as the Handbrake goes I love the magura and actually like the feedback I get when it heats up but it is a smaller bore master, and the squish is spot on, and arm pump is a thing of the past!
