Shimano brakes used to be super reliable. I had some old Deore M555 brakes that just worked. They would go years without needing a bleed. My 785s were much more reliable that the Magura Martas they replaced. I have since replaced 2 levers over 4 sets when the levers just died. I gave a set to a mate for his 40th birthday and both levers shit the bed.
I don't notice the wandering bite point. I do like the single syringe bleed - i am unco-ordinated. Now that the cheap sets from the UK have dried up it my be time to look at other brands but i have enough spare pads to last me until the apocalypse.
My opinion doesn't count though as I have Guide R on my downhill bike and avids on my commuter. If they work I use them until they stop then replace them - usually with shimano out of laziness.
