All of that is true, and most people don't get it. All you really add when you go to a big brake kit is heat resistance, so fade is less of an issue. Braking distance is primarily a function of tires, not brakes. Want to stop in a shorter distance? Get stickier tires. I wouldn't be surprised if the stopping distances of the base and sport brakes are close to the same if on comparable tires. For the first hard stop. After that, the base brakes will fry a lot faster.
