That said, I'll be interested in final pricing of the Wilwoods with slotted rotors.

This. Even Porsche rotors crack and they aren't drilled, most guys replace them after a single weekend due to cracking, at least at Sebring. The hard core P car guys either run blanks, slotted or j hooks if they are running iron discs.
