Oops! I had the Baer caliper model listed as 6S ... but those specs are for the 6P ... as Ron in SoCal's post reminded me. I have updated the two charts to properly reflect the caliper model. No details change.

Given your definitions, I would consider my setup to be more conventional, not a high-travel setup. So I would be leaning towards the 65/35 setup. I'm using the DSE booster and master cylinder, which is obviously a power brake setup instead of a manual setup...

So the specs in the charts ARE of your 6P. But I need the rest of your system specs to calculate braking force & bias.
If you will provide me with front & rear:
Brake piston sizes (all)
Rotor diameters
pedal ratio
Master cylinder bores
Brake pad brand & compound name
I'd be happy to calculate your braking system bias & total braking force.
BUT ... I do not have experience factoring in the hydraulic booster. So the bias will be accurate, but the total braking force will be lower than you actually have, as long as you have booster assist.
Maybe Baer or Tobin can provide us with a correction factor based on the amount of assist from your specific booster ... or at a minimum, a guideline.
