Paul centerpulls have no mush, outside of the cables/housing. Paul CP arms are much stiffer than Dia-Compe/Weinmanns. In my opinion, the flexiness of the R559 brake arms was somewhere between the Paul and DC centerpulls.
However, any rim brake can feel mushy if you have excessive toe-in, because the front ends of the pads hit first. Paul CPs have the same problems of any rim brake when wet, especially compounded with oil and filth from the road. Personally, I have an un-Rivendellian preference for discs. I guess I'm more dwarf (disc; they loved machines) than elf (Rivendell). My stable is two rim brake, three disc. All fun.
