I actually prefer the 740/940 brakes to the 240 brakes... in my opinion they are much easier to service and the calipers work better. I can't count the number of 240's I have worked on that have a seized/binding piston (or 2), yet I've never had that problem on a 740. I replace the caliper pins and rubber boots every time I replace pads, and they just seem to go and go. No doubt the 740 style brakes are cheaper and technically inferior, but I still prefer them for these reasons.
