I've got a set of Modolo Professionals on my Wizard with aftermarket pads, and am happy with the performance. I also have a set of unnamed dark bronze calipers, without pads.
I was warned by my former LBS to beware of the Speedy model, that they were marginal brakes. I've also heard through the grapevine that the special Modolo Sintered pads were not so hot. Does anyone have real life experience with these items? The Speedy's pop up on eBay frequently.
