In addition to what's already mentioned, bigger brakes may also mean bigger wheels and tires. Bigger wheels and tires generally mean more unsprung weight, as well as increased cost (and even more so if you go with lighter weight wheels at the increased size).

I think it really comes down to this: unless you have a need for greatly improved stopping power, how much are the aesthetics really worth to you?
