    I had EBC hh's on a old bike and carbon loraiane c59's on previous.
    I really like them they have a ton of bite and don't seem to fade

    Havent tried the Vortexes (Vortices? lol) yet, but heres my thoughts on Vesrah XX's and EBC GPFAX's:

    -Initial bite, feel, and overall power all go to EBC.
    -No noticeable fading from either.
    -EBC retains similar feel throughout its short lifespan.
    -Longevity goes to Vesrah. Judging by amount of material left, I assume they last about 2-3x longer than the EBC's. Possible loss of power&feel, see below.

    When I came off a set of toasted (~0.5mm) GPFAX's, I didn't notice a drastic change in performance going to XX's.
    When I came off a halfway used (2-3mm) set of XX's, I noticed a fair improvement in all qualities going to GPFAX's.

    Tried them not at all happy.
    They lasted 4 track days
    1 Grattan
    1 Gingerman
    2 Barber and they were toast

    Sent me a new set but I'm not going to try them again

    Maybe you didn't like them because they sent you 1 correct and 3 incorrect pads.. So your review is only good for a 1/2 a cent... and not the full 2 cents. :D
