Yeah, when it comes to brakes I know more expensive isn't always worth it. On my Trek hybrid (about which I have very little complaint, really) I've been satisfied with that $10 Tektro linear pull purchased specifically to address the interference issue. Tektro makes some low cost high value stuff, I think.
I'm sure that I can resolve any interference issues by choosing canti brakes. But every time I see them, all I see are setup variables and pokey-outy issues. I know they aren't as complicated or use as they make me feel they would be. But for now I have no reason to move from linear pulls. Without evidence to the contrary, I'm basically postulating the motolites are top-tier linear pulls. And of course they look stunning.
