According to the product specialist

Pros
These brakes are fully adjustable.
These brakes provide excellent braking power, even in extreme 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 SLX brakes are heavier than the XT brakes.
Not suitable for rougher Enduro action.
Perhaps too powerful when paired to large rotors.
