They also typically have spent a lot of time and frustration getting things sorted. I've seen it happen a million times over the past 9 years that I've been working in the aftermarket brake business (for full disclosure, I was Sales Mgr. at StopTech for nearly 5 years, and I now represent AP Racing in the USA).
