Default Expensive pads-are they really worth it?

Ok, before I get loads of responses saying 'depends on if you think brakes are important' perhaps I should explain myself.

I've been running with Godspeed disks and Kevlar pads for a while and now need new fronts. If I upgraded to blue stuff pads will I really see a difference.
It's a big difference in price and I'm pretty happy with the Kevlar pads.

Am I missing something?

I ran Redstuffs on the front and they were ok pads, just didn't seem to last. Tried some Kevlar ones and didn't notice hardly any difference in performance, but the Kevlar ones are lasting much longer. Not sure about the bluestuff ones though.

all comes down to what "suits" your driving style and use.............

personally find the Kevlar to be little different to a good quality OEM material, except the OEM will have better "feel"
as for E*C then not something we have any faith in to recomend to customers

for the slight price variance againts blue/red/whatever then the likes of the Brembo HPS material is streets ahead for road use
