Spyres are just weak brakes
has been my experience as well
I replaced mine with a BB7 and was much happier.

I also tried compressionless housing first, and that helped a little bit; but nowhere near as much change as simply swapping them out.
-Yokozuna Reaction compressionless housing system.


what you might do, is since you have 2 bikes:
is split the difference, share between both bikes.
put the BB7s as the front brakes
and the Spyres as the rear brakes


This way you get Strong front braking on both of them
and the weaker Spyres go in the rears where the deficiency isn't such a big deal, and the increased 'modulation' of the Spyres might actually be kinda useful.
