I considered those.
Very light, 200 grams IIRC but they machined the part which receives the brake cable housing incorrectly.
A ferrule doesn't fit, only the cable housing. The housing end eventually gets soft and braking gets mushy.
It was a while ago when I looked at them. Perhaps something has changed.
