However, here is just a few of my other reasons
1) They are ugly
2) Not sure of the extra reach
3) They are a royal pain the rear to adjust properly, I'm still adjusting the ones in the pictures (Maybe I'm missing something here, since every time I adjust them, they go off center. Do they go back to center after braking a few times?)
4) I will not have a fender and therefore do not require the extra space

There are probably other reasons, but that is all I can think of right now.
