    M7100 is SLX, a level up from the MT501 (which are non-series Deore).
    Both are great brake sets with the main difference being that SLX have tool-free reach adjust on the levers. This is something that you’d probably adjust once and never touch again.
    If the MT501 are 4 pot I’d go for them as increased braking force is preferable to easily adjusted reach in my opinion.
