Default Alternate brake plumbing

Nearly all modern cars have dual master cylinders that control the brakes in criss-cross "safety" fashion - front right and left rear on one circuit, the others on the other circuit. The notion is that if one circuit fails, the other will give a measure of normal braking.

Cobras use the master cylinders front and rear. I understand this gives more control for mechanical brake proportioning and balance, but as with so many other "original vs. maybe-better" choices... has anyone ever routed their brakes in safety fashion? It would be a nearly undetectible change as far as originality goes.

Thoughts?
