I'm guessing the biggest difference to the brake system effectiveness for street driving would be the 11" rotors versus the 12".

Does anyone have experience to know if the larger rotor size in this situation is really worth the extra cost?

I have the 12" rotors on mine but never tried the 11" rotors for comparison. I do know when I got my new DD it came with 395mm (15.5") rotors and I was suprised by the braking power they had.
