You will find that dual pivots stop with slightly less effort than center pulls, but the difference is small for a strong person like you. Maybe you got a bad sample from dual pivots, because they really are excellent. And I remember Campagnolo's rationale for having a single pivot in the back, but I think it's silly. These brakes are not hard to control. Not that it's a bad setup, either, it's just not necessary or even optimal.

Each choice represents some kind of compromise.
