Have you tried moving the lever further inboard so that your index finger is right on the end of the lever? This should give you more power with your index finger.I'm also after some advice.
Got a new bike a month ago that came with Guide R 4 pots. As we know the bite point is not adjustable and it engages too close to the bar for me. The issue is, I brake with one finger but use my middle finger as I get more power and feel from it vs my index finger. With the Guides, my index finger gets squashed between the lever and bar when trying to brake as the bite point is too close to the bar. (Aslo the guide engagement point seems a little variable at times).
Anyway, I see you can buy Guide RSC levers for about $140 each online which would give me the bite point adjustment. Or, for the same money, get a full XT 2 pot brake.
Are the Guide 4 pots that much more powerful that XT 2 pots?
Cheers.
It may take a bit to get used to and it doesn't give you an excuse to spend money on the bike.
