"We found that the braking performance is really greatly increased, and with the solid rotor there's almost no brake [pad] wear in a muddy race," he said. "It's unbelievable how it changes the longevity of your brake pads."
Anyone else noticed this? I've never really changed rotors enough to compare, but a few extra grammes for improved life seems a decent tradeoff to me..

I can see it working- it basically decreases the amount of pressure required for the same braking force. Though sometimes cutout/grooved rotors are supposed to help with cleaning.
I guess cyclocross is a pretty different disc application though? Less sustained braking etc.
