According to the product specialist

Pros
These brakes are perfect for performance-oriented cross-country mountain bikers!
These brakes are lightweight.
Braking power and modulation are excellent for Dutch MTB routes and medium technical trails in other countries.
The brake lever is fully adjustable.
The Magura Storm HC brake discs provide excellent braking power in all conditions.
The Shimano XT M8100 MTB brakes are fully customisable.
The total weight of 573 grams is low for a brake set.
These Shimano brakes have a sharp bite point, so they engage quickly and strongly.
Incredible stopping power.
Great value for money when it comes to enduro brakes.
Can be combined with all types of Magura rotors.
Cons
These brakes' bite is not as sharp as that of Shimano brakes.
In terms of modulation, SRAM brakes perform better.
Not suitable for rougher Enduro action.
Perhaps too powerful when paired to large rotors.
