How much of a performance difference will there be from a lower end rotor (say shimano 105 ice tech) to a higher end rotor?
Very close to fuck all in my humble opinion. Obvs the higher end DA will be a tad lighter and the fancier cooling fins will probably help dissipate heat a bit more so brake fade wont be such an issue on a long alpine descent. The actual overall braking power isn't any different, the rotor size is biggest factor for power.
Save the cash and get 105 or similar level.
Sorry if this has been gone over, I was having trouble finding discussion using the search function.
