Good news is it should be cheap ;)

Well if you are not convinced by the theory alone, I can back that up with 'in practice' ... new verses old pads makes a notable difference on my bike wrt leaver movement!!!! ;)

Totally agree with that - if the lever's still spongy you've still got air trapped in the system somewhere.
