I managed to come by the adjustable noodles just about free, the TRPs don't come with them IIRC...

Having owned bikes with Shimano with CX9s and SRAM with the CX8.4s, the latter is an especially great combo. Tons of one-finger braking power, I loved how easy it was to modulate speed.
Definitely required constant fiddling to keep them working their best, but it's totally worth it IMHO. Being on hyrdo discs now is great for being low maintenance, but my setup isn't really any better at one-finger stopping than my old bike with SRAM and CX8.4s.
In my case the CX8.4 came with adjustable noodles but the CX 9 didn't.
