And the RX100s, when properly set up are as good as anything in my fleet. The only way to improve the performance would be to add some Scott pads. This was the setup I was riding today - worked great.
Dave those RX100's are long reach which reduces the mechanical advantage of a dual pivot system, so you might want to review your 'There is no overlap in braking performance' impression. Personally I'd opt for the DuraAce single pivots with 2012 DuraAce pads in a flash myself.
