Deal Details
Jenson USA [jensonusa.com] has Magura MT Trail Sport Brake Sets on Sale.

Free Shipping, 30-day price protection, 90 day returns.

The Magura MT Trail Sport Brake Set hits the absolute sweet spot for trail riders who want massive stopping power without losing fine control. By putting a burly four-piston caliper on your front wheel and a lighter two-piston caliper on the back, Magura gives you heavy-duty braking where you need it most while keeping the rear wheel from skidding out every time you panic-brake. The levers have a snappy, crisp feel that instantly instills confidence, making this upgrade one of the smartest bangs for your buck if your current stock brakes feel mushy or weak.

Staggered Caliper Setup: A four-piston front caliper delivers maximum stopping force, while a two-piston rear caliper ensures excellent rear-wheel modulation.

Carbotecture Master Cylinder: The lever body uses a proprietary carbon-fiber composite material that keeps the overall system weight incredibly low without sacrificing hydraulic pressure.

1-Finger HC Aluminum Levers: The short, ergonomically curved lever blades provide a comfortable hook for a single finger, allowing you to keep a firm grip on the handlebars.

Reach Adjustment: A simple tool-adjustable screw on the lever lets you customize how close the blade sits to the grip, making it highly adaptable for smaller hands.

MagnetiXchange Brake Pistons: Magnetic pistons securely hold the brake pads in place inside the caliper, making routine pad swaps incredibly fast and frustration-free.

I have the 2-piston MT5's. Same caliper is used here on the front. They do a great job of stopping my trail bike. Good modulation. I would think this is fine for most trail/XC riders. Maybe underpowered for bigger riders or those with extended downhills.
I would want a 2-piston caliper on both ends if there was any amount of downhill on your normal ride. Otherwise, these are good.
One thing to know about the Magura bleed process. The fluid filler screw is only to be tightened to 0.5n on the lever - Their levers are all composite (plastic), and thus the low torque.

Just a technicality but I think you mean 4 piston, 2 piston (4 pot 2 pot). Either way, someone will have to drag my 4 pot shimano xt out of my cold dying hands. Haven't tried some of the newer brands or new sram ones but something about shimano xt brakes is just so nice.

We've got Shimano SLX on my son's Ripmo AL, and they do stop very nicely. Shigura hybrid brakes - Magura calipers with Shimano XT levers were very popular at one point. I do like the feel of that light-action Shimano lever.
SRAM's brakes are generally crap until you get up to the Mavens. Those are good. I used to think the SRAM Code brakes were good, until I tried others. I'm currently running Magura MT5s on my primary trail bike and have Codes on my trail ebike that I use for trail work and local rides. They stop fine, but no feel/modulation. I have TRP Evo Pros on my new bike and love them. Stopping power is incredible and they feel amazing.
From what I can tell, current hot OEM products are the Magura Gustav Pro, TRP EVO Pro, and SRAM Maven Ultimate. Shimano brakes are always there on the XT builds, but everything else seems to have one of those other options.
