It is the weight savings over looks I went for. Silly as it sounds.
Simply put, drilled rotors are weaker than non-drilled rotors. There have been incidents of cracking under extreme conditions. I don't think it's a common occurrence, though. If you are incredibly hard on your brakes at the track, a pre-track inspection might be something to add to your routine.
