That system is very expensive. But still would love to ditch the ABS.

It's a matter of priorities I guess. To me its worth $1500 to have top notch pedal and master cylinder setup. Having separate master cylinders allows for more precise brake balancing. Also nice to be able to adjust pedals. But weight reduction is nice added bonus. Stock pedals are boat anchors.
