would a set of modern "long" road brakes like this work for upgrading the braking power?

I used an Ultegra front brake on my Elite with the Original Dia Compe in the rear and think it worked great. If anyone looks at you strange, tell them you copied the single pivot rear/dual pivot front idea from Campy's new brakes.
