well i think 150 flexible can get you a pair of elixir 5s, might run you up closer to the 200 mark but they're good reliable brakes

Those Shimanos look like a pretty good deal, but may I suggest Hayes Stroker Aces? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/SearchResults.aspx?Search=stroker+ace&CategoryIDs=524

Might be a little beyond your budget, but they're a VERY GOOD brake for the money. The best value out there IMO. I've had mine for 3 seasons....they've been trouble free and work awesome.....tonnes of power!
