In the case of the rotors there is less rotating mass

The 4 Pad caliper arrangement gives double the leading edge contact, better feel/feedback/initial bite, less judder and increased braking power

Set up right, you can hard brake your bike with an index finger

I'm running 320mm rotors, SBK 2 pad calipers, Ferodo Platinum pads, and radial MC setup.  I can get within an eyebrow twitch of front end lock up with one finger.  Bike is S2R 800. 
I am happy with my brakes now.  [thumbsup]

4 pad calipers on the street are kinda like 150hp on the street.

No...you don't need it, but you definitely know they're there.
