Has anybody gone from the FTI dual 4 piston setup to Hohey BR?

So right now I'm running the FTI dual quad setup, it's pimpin and I've had it for about 6 months now I think... I'm just a little over so much footbrake strength. I've ordered the hohey big rotor setup so I could go down to a tl1000 rear brake caliper... has anybody made this step down? Did it **** you up and are you happy with the move? I just feel like I was smoother on the stock caliper, and I know my skills weren't nearly as good then. Whenever I can run an f4i rear caliper on the hohey setup (supposedly it's in the works) I know I will finally be happy haha.

So what's everyone's opinion? Is the tiller caliper a good medium between the overkill 4 piston and the adequate stock caliper? If this sucks I may just have to go back to stock.

I'm definitely a master of blipping the throttle now... for coasters and nth/no handed stuff it gets on my nerves though.

Yeah I have trimmed pads. Pointers I don't really have other than practice as much as possible, ride with people who are better than you, and listen to music while you practice, especially if alone... I can ride almost twice as long if I have music.
