Also, it seems that hardly any fluid has a higher boiling point by much except for that Castrol product, so I think that it's a little better than "middle of the road".
Dry boiling point is not relevant....

As soon as you open the bottle of fluid and introduce it to your brake system... it starts to attract water.... hence wet boiling point..

Who gives a crap what the boiling point is for a freshly opened bottle of brake fluid.... what matters is when it has been in service for a bit..

This is the spec that matters...

Castrol SRF is the shiznits.. but for a street car... get some Castrol Dot 4 Syntec

We do use SRF in many of the cars in our shop.... except when the customer balks.... then there are other alternatives....
