I don't think there is doubt in my mind what I would choose between a fresh set of sumi vs an old PS2. I just ran with fresh sumis at Watkins Glen DE and had absolutely no problems at all. It is going back this weekend as well.

I felt my brakes go slightly mushy before the tires and my brake fluid was flushed with Motul RBF 600 in June. In short, Sumis held up better than the brake fluid.
