When comparing two calipers & the rotors are the same & the pumping
force of the master cylinder is the same is there a gain if using a
greater number of pistons in the caliper ?
  I'm looking at a set of six piston calipers . I measured the piston
area & the pad area & compared them to my stock four piston calipers .
The six piston unit is 4% smaller in the pads & 2% smaller in over all
piston area . The only gain that I can see is the six piston caliper's
pads move about 7% of its pad area further out on the rotor increasing
the lever action . Looks like a wash out to me . Any comments ?
