Totally understandable. I don't know if their quality is twice that of the R1 rotors. I liked the look of them, and Uncle Sam had just paid me back for over paying him, so that was how I was able to afford them when I got them. I haven't heard anything bad about the R1 rotors so I would go with them; plus you can get them in fashionable party colors.

I'm surprised that SP doesn't do just drilled rotors. I wonder why? They DO do (heh, dodo) a diamond impression type thing on their rotors that they claim keeps the rotors stronger than drilled rotors and it's kind of a unique look.
