I've seen a road bike with disc brakes and it doesn't too different. I thought it was rather cool.. The reason that the rider had disc brakes was because of downhill speeds. The person was too scared to ride fast and would ride the brakes the entire way. The person got scared after overheating the rims... now that is a not a problem...
Get them if you want but my Dura-Ace brakes do a great job of stopping... Have no idea why I would need more stopping power...
