If you are using them as track-day pads (only), ignore my comments.

Yup. I have just under 20k miles on them. I have no issues with stopping on cold pads, besides a slight lack of initial bite as you mentioned. That being said, I have had more than a few panic stops with cold pads, and never once have I doubted them. The Carbotech's I had before them (XP10/8's) were worse.
However, I also live within an hour of the tail of the dragon, and have driven MX72's on a Z up there more than once. They do well, but not well enough for what we can achieve up there for braking temps. So I needed something more than what an MX72 can do. Hence the ME20 purchase. I may step down to an ME22 on the rear next time around though. It has a little too much rear bite for my driving style, although I can make it work very well in certain situations.
