Must admit I'm looking at going down this path, but only because the frame I'm a cyclocross monstrosity frame with carbon forks for disc breaks as standard and I've just ordered oh so trendy rims with non-machined side walls that I don't fancy stuffing up with rim brakes.
I also figure when I take this beast out slushing through the mud off road disc brakes are going to be better than rims, and as a 120kg mountain bike I love my hydraulic disc brakes.
