IMO, the *only* reason to care about the brembos is for looks, or if you mentally have to have the "best" version of the car.
They're really good at heat dissipation which helps a ton if you drive often in the canyons. On my previous daily driver I found that when I started running R-compound tires, it was too much for the stock brakes to handle, even with upgraded fluid and pads. Haven't had that problem with my tS.
