personally, i see no advantage from the caliper change. i have the original 4 pots on mine on 330mm discs and there is a huge improvement in terms of resistance against fade over std size discs whilst keeping a good pedal feel.
Better braking really, but I don't want to spend £1000's. Saw those calipers up for sale at a keen price, and it got me wondering...

Are you saying you can change disc size whilst retaining the original calipers ? Will this increase the pad/disc contact area, or merely reduce fade ?
Now I am interested...

PS: I know safety has no price, but I can't afford the best kits out there, so any improvement for a relatively small outlay would be great.
