When the calliper is placed at the top of the disc, how much is the influence on contact area if you move the wheel +/- 5mm ?
If the calliper is positioned well, do you really need a movable calliper mount?
@ Scorch: maybe no need to have 2 brakes, but some people just prefer that.
I can imagine, especially with a f/s fork with travel like this one.
And if one brake would be enough powerwise, why such a big disc radius? He seems to want plenty of brake power. 2 callipers make sense.
