I think they are like ching ching £100 kind of money, and i have no idea, same quality as the rest.

To be fair a failed master cylinder is a rare occurence on a MK4

In theory it should reduce pedal travel, make the brakes more responsive and also a lot more powerful in stopping, a bigger master cylinder means more force

Edited to clarify

bigger pistons make for more pedal travell thats a fact.
but they will work better so you wont have to press them as hard as the standard ones so they will be just a bit spongey.

I meant bigger pistons inside the master cylinder........so that reduces travel

I believe so, i did think there was such a thing as an RS without ABS but i was wrong so a 2 outlet item is all you will find i think
