But why go with something cheaper?
I mean in my personal view...
If the rotors are bigger and you have more friction surface area (bigger rotor) then its good enough.
But why should I go with something more expensive?
Do they last longer? is there a flaw with them apposed to the next BBK?

I'm Biased, given what you said, 6/4 setups, I choose AP over Rotora.
In fact, I have them FS as well:

lol
But Why are you being Biased, show me your point of view plz
Okay, let me put it this way.
AP has more racing background to back them up. Their products are track proven. Heavy R & D spent into making these for primary purpose: TRACK. Functional is their number 1 goal. Hence the heavy cost for R&D and quality parts.
Rotora are nice. They're also well known among the track crowd as well. However, their primary goal is to make it available for the regular consumer who wants better braking power on the street and limited track event. Therefore, production cost can be cheaper, hence cheaper cost to buy and looks good.
I had couple friends who tracked before with couple BBKs already. They found AP racing to be one of the best among the lines of Endless Track Edition BBK. Laps after laps, brakes performed really well and no fades.
There's my $.02 of why I chose AP.

So for a daily are the brakes too rough?
Well, you've omitted other brands from your poll including StopTech, Endless, GReddy, Megan Racing, Wilwood, and others. I've had both Rotora and StopTech BBKs. What's the reason for being partial to AP Racing? Don't get me wrong, I understand they're great brakes but I'd imagine you'd want to consider all your options.
