Wow, this is a fantastic piece. Except for one glaring issue. The tire situation. I really agree with others that you should have normalized that factor and use the same tires across all of the bikes. The single largest thing that can change the feel of a bike are the tires. And in the case of these bikes represent

Good rule of thumb in general and I hate the territorial mentality as much as anyone, but eliminating un-sanctioned trails in that area rules out everything that doesn't have hikers, dogs, and strollers on it.

I'm very much of two minds about the Saints comments myself - I agree with a lot of what was said about them being monsters and how they can feel very much dialed in for a rider familiar with them, I have them on 2 bikes since 2014; but it never occurred to me that I was doing something "different" than how I would engage with other style of bike breaks. I rented a Pivot for some Phoenix area riding and I never felt like I was doing something "different" with how the break engaged, certainly not to the level...

Not a criticism of the review necessarily, but I'm skeptical of the pricing you have listed. I bought a new set of Saint brakes from a reputable online retailer 2 years ago for about 40% less than the price you're noting and can easily find them online today for around $300. Are these not the most powerful, most reliable, AND least expensive in this group? I know you've referenced full retail numbers but real world numbers drastically affect the value side of this shootout
