debateable, however i will be able to rag it for longer.

Anyway I got some new Brembo 21TXi discs for a fiver and I'd need to get refurb 16V calipers anyway so i might as well do the conversion.

I have never had fade on 16V brakes, you have seen my avoiding undue hesitation style of driving.

End of the day the limiting factor is the tyres grip, standard brakes over come any tyres grip. Larger discs will allow better control one could argue though.
