I'm sure it has some disadvantages but IMO the advantages are greater. No vacuum worries, lot cleaner set up and uses less space. Decreases stopping distance. A lot of the pro-touring guys love the crap out of them and they're real picky about what they use (they aren't going to top of a $2500.00 Baer or Wilwood brake set up with something that is only marginally better than what they already have).

I'm sure the aftermarket are much improved upon the factory systems, also. I realize there was some issues with those.
