Getting back to the theory. The reasons to switch to frt disc from drum are heat dissipation and less maintenence. The calipers are self adj so they will not cause a pull due to mis adj and the wont fade on high speed stops or mountain descents as drums will. My clipper in 5 years of driving on weekends,to shows and cruise ins and on highways to the beach and NYC has not had fade or pull or failure as yet but I too am concerned about this btv failure issue.
