According to the product specialist

Pros
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.
These brakes have excellent braking power and brake control.
These brakes are very durable.
With the available colours you can make your bike look a lot cooler!
These brakes are light.
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.
Cons
Not suitable for rougher Enduro action.
Adjustment and bleeding requires more time with these brakes than with comparable brakes from other brands.
These brakes' bite is not as sharp as that of Shimano brakes.
In terms of modulation, SRAM brakes perform better.
