Should i replace my XTR v-brakes on my Pashley with a set of Magura HS33?

I mean, are they really all that more powerful?
Surely they are heavier?

And working on them is gonna be a reet jam as opposed to V's.

    A lack of disc mounts on the Heckler made me put HS33's on the rear, they are powerfull as hell and a piece piss to fit.

    Emo's don't have brakes though?
    I'm generalising here but most emo's tend to ride BMX, and the 'fashion' in BMX is to be brakeless.

    Via a pricipal themal valve system. If the heat rises above a preset stable level the valve opens and releases the fluid, its then topped up via a small reservoir of brake fluid you store in the lower fork leg via a small hose to the side of the caliper.

    Cools as you brake see....
