I have the X-O which do go together, although the shifters are quite upright (but I do like the brake levers very much angled down) They do still butt up together.
I hear Hope are planning a combination bracket.
Hopefully, the revised lever's and calipers should be better, i've never owned Hope brakes so just wanted to try them really. All my Peak riding pals swear by them, but then again I hear as much bad stuff about them from others.
I have had my Hope M4 for years. They have never had a problem even after trips to both the Swiss and French Alps as well as racing in the Mega Avalanche and seeing action on countless UK downhills. Before that I had the original Hope Ti6 that I only got rid of the for the M4 as I thought they were over kill. I would be happy to recommend Hope brakes to any one.
Got the new Tech M4 brakes on my 224 Evo World Cup 2009. They look really nice and perform pretty well too. The lever adjustment is pretty robust-looking and the graphics are very patriotic. And if you need some advice on them you can pick up the phone and talk to the fine people in Barnoldswick.
Then again, my shimano M525 brakes on my old Patriot have also done a pretty good job of stopping me for the last five years.

Totally awesome in every way. The amount of feel & power is just unreal.
They make me smile all the time, not found any condition yet (including extreme wet mud) that comes close to unsettling them.
The adjustment with the levers is very accurate too!

Hope have a first class customer service backup.
Tried different pads, rotors, umpteen bleeds, you name it, but they are still very poor.

Again no problems there.
