According to the product specialist

Pros
Incredible stopping power.
Great value for money when it comes to enduro brakes.
Can be combined with all types of Magura rotors.
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 provide good braking power in all conditions.
The double pistons further increase braking power.
Cons
Perhaps too powerful when paired to large rotors.
Not suitable for rougher Enduro action.
These brakes are heavier than the XT single piston brakes.
