Looking at buying some m6000 brakes to replace the Acera grade stuff on the current bike.

Cheapest options are the German retailers, but will that require a left / right swap or are the levers interchangeable these days?

2011 Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc (son #4s)
2013 Decathlon Triban 3 (red) (mine)
2019 Hoy Bonaly 26" Disc (son #2s)
2018 Voodoo Bizango (mine)
2018 Voodoo Maji (wife's)

    I’ve just gone for the 4 pot mt-520/mt501 only a couple of quid more but 2 extra pistons...

    You’d have to swap levers over too.

    I rate my Deore brakes on the Bossnut as good as my SRAM Guide R on the Levo any day - they feel better and give the same braking performance in my humble opinion.

    UK supplier here, selling them at more or less the same price and handed correctly: High on Bikes Ive bought off them before and they were quick on delivery.

    Deore brakes are one of those things that you can't go far wrong with. I've had them on two of my bikes and put them on two of the children's bikes I've built, they're completely fit and forget.
