I try to stay out of discussions like these as all they really do is make the case for hydraulics 
I'd certainly agree that something like a 60:40 split is to be aimed for (more or less depending on where your C of G is).
The inherent difficulty as I see it is to separate the question force applied from that of travel and parasitic friction.
Do let us know how you get on!
Personally I have settled for most parts free of excessive free play or friction, an eager sense of anticipation and an impressive horn note. Can't claim I've really cracked it yet.
