The big rotor gives you more surface area, that dissipates heat better.  It also moves your caliper father away from the center giving the caliper more leverage.  Like the difference between a short wrench and a long wrench.

Hmmmn. If two pistons are the goal,seems application of any aftermarket rear street caliper would work...they run a heck of a lot cheaper too...AP,Brembo,Harris,Performance machine...it would be fun to try an old Lockheed even...sorry the tinker brain just took over. I seem to remember Harris making a mini caliper...of course these would not be a straight bolt on...of course I haven't tried any...mebbe I should have another beer.
