I didn't get on with my bb7 at first until shown how to set it up properly, now I love it! You have much less rotational weight with discs, and a stronger rim! That and the soggy winter league are te reasons I've gone with disc.
Plus, the trials hub I have is really heavy, my forks are light, having fbo disc probably balances the bike more.
Things to bear in mind: I like less rotational weight cus I like going fast. I don't hop at all so overall bike weight isn't an issue for me.
