Appreciate the thoughts and insight.
I failed to mention that I recently changed the m/c on the SDL because it would have a touch of "pedal fade" on heavy applications. Not enough to be a problem, but, presumably, the m/c had an internal leak past one of the pistons.

The change of m/c cured the slight pedal fade. The soft modulation of the pedal is unchanged......and I must have put one quart of fluid through three of the wheels.
