And the W126 has ventilated rotors which I doubt would really shorten your stopping distances, it would stop them from fading though. You have to be pretty tough on the brakes to get fade though.

Reducing fade is reducing heat which leads to shorter stopping distances in a panic stop. That is what matters the most, not typical stopping.
