Subject:Disc brake calipers

A couple of questions  for the brake  experts on the list.
Does the later 'floating' brake caliper have any braking advantages over the early two piston fixed caliper design?
Was the change purely for accounting reasons i.e. only one piston, one set of seals etc?
Does the floating caliper actually have superior stopping ability?
Any insight would be appreciated.

John.
