Default Front Brake Master Cylinder Swap

I'm thinking about getting a Brembo MC for the F4i that I can get a deal on. But I was wondering if there would be any improvements by mounting my 05 Kawi ZX6R MC on since I replaced that one with a Brembo.

I'm looking for improvements in braking power and the ease of doing fluid change with a new MC.

Would the ZX6r MC provide any improvements?

As for actual brake improvements i cannot say one way or another. I can say that i put a GSXR radial master on my F4i. Before I upgraded i had bought a set of braided lines for the F4i MC. After installing the Radial MC i realized that I needed to change the ends on my brake lines from straight to 90 degree. The banjo bolt for the stock MC comes out like this __ The GSXR Radial MC comes out from the bottom like this | So thats all i have to add. hopefully someone comes through with an opinion either way.

I replaced the f4i MC with a 954 radial MC but also upgraded the lines and pads. I'm not sure what helped the most (prolly pads) but lever pressure and feel was excellent.
