Replacing pads literally takes a minute.

And in exchange I get great stopping power in all seasons, and don't have to worry about rim brakes tracks on carbon wheels. Which if anything goes wrong, far eclipses the cost of rotors and pads.

Also keep in mind that was all my first time doing any of that. Future instances will be much faster.
