I was really enjoying my disc equipped CX bike on long ride, I'm always wary about braking on descent even with decent brakes, but disc brakes make child play of descent.
Seeing the amount of worn rims from the daily commuter on their Specialized Allez, disc-brake road bike would be much better and easier to maintain, even if you worn the disc rotors, it's still easier and cheaper to replace than a rims (or wheels).
