Just upgraded my my brake system along with a major front end overhaul and I am really impressed by the difference in the feel of the brakes. They are as hard as a rock - reminds me of my 911! I did not change anything else other than bleed the lines real well and they went from a mushy VW feel to rock hard secure feeling! I read a bunch about brake upgrades and one of the recommendations was not to upgrade the MC without changing out the calipers - but in my case it made a world of difference.

I like my 19mm mc, both of my cars have them, but the biggest thing that I noticed was a harder pedal with a little less "feel." I wouldn't go back because I'm used to it, but modulation is different.
