What shifters are you running?  I assume SRAM since you are using the 8.4s, but let's confirm.

Andras- I have the same setup and have the opposite to report: The brakes are strong, and the modulation is good. I also take the 8.4s apart frequently to clean/lube after a few muddy races. Not sure what to say about the difficulty you are having in disassembling them. I should point out mine are the light-blue, early-production model, and I run Zipp cork pads for my Easton carbon tubulars.

Before you go buying a whole new setup, perhaps consider changing brake pads to find a rim+pad combination that may work better, as well as checking your housing is setup properly and is as compression-less as possible (like Yokozuna or similar)

best of luck
