Staying with Paul, if you can’t get the Tektro to work there’s always the Funky Monkey:

I really like the bits of useful information that I learn on this list. I need to install a rear center pull brake on a bike with no cable stop and with no room between the seat post binder ears for your typical suspended stop. But I do have one of the Tektro front cable stops. Now I just need to find it. Thanks, Garth!

I can't speak to a Moon Unit but I have used a wider cable carrier and it offered nothing over the basic Dia-Compe style ones. More effectiive for the front at least is a Tektro 1277A fork mounted cable stop. They can be used in the rear of your bike has no cable stop, use the correct mounting bolt, and the geometry is right.
They are a lot easier to set up -- it's a lot easier to tighten the cable with the fixed bolt. They're wider than most carriers, which translates into a bit more leverage (or mechanical advantage) , which "might" be good with certain aero brake levers (making sure you have enough lever pull), but it is not really that wide, and adjusting the straddle cable height up or down will in most cases have more impact on the amount of mechanical advantage.
I do have a set with Suntour XC Pro Cantilevers on my Toyo Atlantis -- they're nice and worthwhile, but I got mine for about $25 used, so... :)

Just curious if anyone has real opinions on the actually functionality of Moon Units vs normal stock ones. My instinct is telling me that it's a $60 shiny thing that will make adjustment & setup a tiny bit easier. Also it seems it gives the straddle cable a different yoke shape so that was my main nerd out question. I'd be using them with the Touring Cantis btw. Thanks!
