Is it worth finding a coupe with Brembos?

Long story made short, I'm looking at getting a G35 coupe. Some have the Brembos, and I'm always a fan of having powerful brakes. But the replacement parts are outrageous.

Local dealer wants $633 PER ROTOR. That's just parts, and doesn't include the pad or labor. Basically it's $2800 in parts for a full brake job plus the $400 or so in labor.

Is this just a huge rip, or is it a nightmare to get one of the coupes with the Brembos? Are they really worth it over the non-Brembos? My father's 03 sedan stops pretty well on the stockers. Last thing I want to do is get some outrageous repair bills. Granted I do not put much mileage on my car, but a $3500 brake job? F that.

Your stopping peformance on the street will not be significantly different from the OEM brembos to the nonbrembos

Even at a discount, are brake jobs going to break the bank? They're pricey on my S2000, but nothing like what the Infiniti dealer wants.

Can anyone provide the brake specs for Brembo vs non-Brembo?
