Review: Trickstuff Piccola C22 Brakes - Light, Powerful, & Pricey
There's no false equivalence here, these are simply a horrible value buy. The $130 shimano set can also easily last 10 years, and is much easier to service and find replacement parts.

First Ride: Raaw Madonna V3 - Better Than Ever
If you like this one (and it looks like a gorgeous, well thought out bike), it's worth also taking a look at Kavenz.
High Pivot, longer seat post insertion, 620g/1.36lb lighter frame, and made in Germany rather than Taiwan.
Can't go wrong with either but I can't resist shouting out a favorite brand :)

Review: TranzX EDP01 Wireless Electronic Dropper Post
Y'all are on something, as an electrical engineer who works on consumer electronics the last thing I was in my dropper is a circuit board and motor as additional failure points.
A dirty housing isn't going to leave you with a stuck high dropper on the trail, but a blown IC or fried motor definitely will. And if you think the long term reliability of a brushed motor and plastic gearbox is higher than that of a Bowden tube (shifter housing) then I'd just straight up disagree.
