As you can see noticeable flex in both clips but the second being much less. It's a very noticeable mod IMO. From a quick lap around the block my brake peddle now feels very firm as opposed to the slight sponginess i used to experience.

Keen to test it properly on my next drive

Ps: My goodness was that brake stopper a pain in the ass to install

Good stuff man - can easily see the difference. Although I was expecting to see less deflection with the brace.

I might do the same thing - I wouldn't mind comparing a brace that bolts to the MC fasteners and one like the one you have installed which braces the back of the MC.

So did I to be honest. So I fiddled with it a bit this morning and this is the outcome. MUCH better :)

The brakes feel so different now. It really makes modulation so much more precise.

so did you want to say which MC brace you are using?

Yes, that would be an interesting comparo. Maybe someone with a omgpham or similar brace could record a video?
