Default Sv1000 Upgrade my brake master cylinder?

To compliment the previous owners upgrades on my sv1000 I'd like to upgrade the front brake master cylinder and was wondering what mid range options there might be?

Seen the brembo ones but they're a little eye watering, any thing that would be suitable but cheaper?

The brakes are the 4 pot tokico calipers that come from a k4 GSXR 750.

Must say I had my standard callipers serviced, new rubbers, pads, fluid etc and I'd be hard pressed to see how they could be any better than mine currently are. Plenty of feel, good bite and perfectly capable of overwhelming the front tyre with no effort. Could be a simpler option to refurb current than chase compatibility all round the bike with a new set-up.

Keep your eye on Suzuki " bike of the month". GSXR1000 was on a couple of months ago and they were offering the Radial M/C for £92. I'm want to do the same.
