Hi,
I was just going to let Henry's earlier comment (about the "inferior"
original configuration slide, but since you asked....

right

Which is why hydraulic brakes work. Pressure anywhere is pressure
everywhere.

Virtually never an issue in braking systems. Friction losses are problems in
hydraulic motors, not brakes - No flow to speak of.
The volume issue is also

I agree. The master cylinder, as far as I know, is not redundant soooo,
unless your Max has a dual master cylinder system, it's sharing a plenum for
the fluid anyway. Doesn't matter where the split happens.
