If that is the case, then the cost difference to upgrade to the ERA outboard setup isn't as much as listed because with the Jag rear I'd have to buy the adaptors.

I don't know the answer to that. But I will tell you that for a mostly-driven-on-the-street car, there is really no need for the outboard braked rear. The Jag rear is just fine, even for casual track use. The only reason I got it was that I just liked the looks of it all. One of the things you have to kind of watch out for when you're laying out your plan is that an upgrade in one area can trigger an unexpected upgrade in another area. For instance, back when I had my car built Peter did not want the smaller brakes up front with the outboard braked rear -- so that meant an upgrade to the big Sierras up front. And I don't even remember why I went with 6 pins instead of 5. You can't even see the difference unless you pull the wheel, and I don't think it had anything to do with the brakes or the rear. Those black Girling brake reservoirs look cool, but they blister and drip. I still keep them, though; just because they look cool.
