I know exactly what you mean .
I had mono minis for a while but my heart just couldn't get on with the levers . I'm in the minority of weirdos that brake with the middle finger and any lever blade that is excessively cut out cuts that finger that is neither middle nor little ( whats that suckers name , damn near useless finger , barely controllable .)
I also like very very little lever movement before the pads bite . I've never seen the point in pulling a load of slack lever before the brake is useful . If you braking / non braking in rapid succession you just end up holding the lever taught . Dial out the slack and give your fingers a rest and let them hold the bars for brief seconds . The sports are the only disc levers I've used that allow such adjustment . It's even flippable , none of that "i have a left but need a right ." If it pumps up i give the dial a wind , I'm never going to be hammering down the side of a mountain so I don't need the expansion of an open system .
Then theres the calipers . I wasn't fond of the idea of a solid machined caliper with unscrewable bore , I couldn't notice any real added stiffness ( of course there will be but at my level of riding i never noticed a perceivable benefit ) i just saw an added hassle if i need to give it all a clean . I prefer the magnetic pad retention to the crappy twisted bit of wire they do now too .
I'm willing to meet halfway with a normal mini but I've noticed on the front it isn't as fade resistant as an older 2pot .
