I really like the 5/8" master with the 6-pots, but there are plenty of people who will tell you that the 14mm works just fine. I know that with the 5/8" I can stop with 2 fingers very easily, yet still have excellent feel. I never tried the 14mm with the new calipers, so I can't tell you what the difference is.

I don't know what things go for in Europe, but I paid $46 + $15 shipping for the complete front brake system from a 2007 ZZR600. That included the master and the calipers, as well as lines I obviously didn't use and pads with about 1000 km on them. (Those pads are just about done now, but they've lasted me well!!!) I think I got a very good deal, but not an unbelievable one. €130 sounds very expensive to me, but that could be the European market.

Cheers, HTH,
