Agreed...I wouldn't do a conversion to disc; would wait until it's time to buy another bike and get one with discs. My Hayes do not pull any lighter than V's, nor do they stop me any quicker when conditions are perfect, and I don't feel that I can control the breakes any better with discs. However, when conditions get nasty, discs are a great thing to have. Only took one sphincter-tightening descent down a snowy trail to understand why V's are inferior to discs when conditions are lousy.
