Ok, there has been a lot of static in the forum regarding this topic. I want to know the final facts.

Particulars:

* Car MB: 300E
* Driving style: Aggressive - daily speeds over 90 mph (driving in Europe) Heavy usage of the brakes.
* Keeping the stock brake calipers, and thus, the stock size rotors
* Considering high quality (chamfered) Cross-drilled and/or slotted rotors
* Have heard that unless you increase the size of the rotor, cross-drilling merely reduces frictional surface area, canceling any braking benefits
* Have heard that slotted rotors eat pads and are non-functional gimick
* Have heard that stock solids function well enough, provided you couple it up with a high quality pad (e.g., Metal Master...)

Ok ... enough debate! What are the facts here? Let's go to the Bottem Line please.

Can anyone clear this up - in a straight forward manner?

Thanks,
David
