Rotor selection based on weight.

I'm building a daily driver that will go to Willow springs 2 or 3 times a year. I want major stopping power for the track so I bought Wilwood 13 X 1 3/8 inch curved vane rotors @ 15.2 lbs each. Now that I have them, they seem like overkill. Should I trade them back in for 12.19 X 1.25 inch curved vane rotors @ 10.1 lbs each, a weight savings of 5.1 lbs of rotational mass? It's a question of weight versus stopping power/warp resistance/heat disipation. Also, same question for calipers, 3.75 lbs superlights with 8.6" pad surface area, or 2.5 lb dynalights with 5.9" pad surface area?
