According to the product specialist

Pros
This brake is strong and is real easy to apply.
You can adjust the Bite Point Control and Reach.
This brake has a stylish design.
These brakes provide good braking power in all conditions.
The double pistons further increase braking power.
The XTR M9100 brakes are designed to withstand even the most extreme situations. They offer consistent braking power even in wet or muddy conditions.
These mtb brakes are highly modulable, meaning you can precisely dose the braking force. This is essential for controlling your mountain bike in technical situations.
This brake set is very lightweight, making it ideal for long, mountainous rides.
You can adjust the distance between brake lever and handlebar without tools.
They have an advanced cooling system that helps keep the brakes cool, even during prolonged use.
Cons
These brakes are supplied assembled and vented, which means they must be disconnected for frames with internal cable routing.
These brakes are heavier than the XT single piston brakes.
The modulation is not as good as with SRAM or Magura brakes.
