I have my own big brake system identically on two of my Vans (front Audi 57mm caliper with 312mm vented discs). So far, I have been lucky I never needed the extra anti-fade of the vented discs, but: On one Van I have the stock booster, on the other the 10" BMW version. What a difference in comfort! Because I know the brakes do identical jobs, I can definitely tell the difference being caused by the booster. While a harder "surprising" stop with the stock one requires some serious step-on-pedal, the BMW version is much easier. No "standing-up", lifting out of driver´s seat, no pulling on the steering wheel. Both boosters are intact, the BMW version just makes the feeling so much more passenger-car-like. Because the conversion is basically plug-and-play (except a little thread-cutting M9 to M10), I definitely recommend it. No brake bleeding required.
