Robert I have RH centerpulls and they were a PITA to adjust the brake pads and also required a lot of time. Once you losses the nuts, the pad can move up/down, in/out and rotate making adjustment tedious and time consuming. There is supposed to be a tool to hold the pad, but it is not available AFAIK.
The braking is nice but not any better than Shimano dual pivots. They do allow allow a 52mm fender without indenting the fender sides.
