EBC Brake pads

Guys,
I posted before saying I did not think the EBC Green Stuff pads were much better than the stock pads (when used on an E220 Cabriolet) and that some Ferodo DS2000 pads I am using in a E280 Touring are very impressive (Both cars using standard rotors).
I am now wondering if the EBC pads I should be trying are the "Red Stuff" version as they are listed for "heavier cars". I think the manufacturers think of normal weight performnace cars in the UK as the usual Japanese high performance models which usually weigh in below 1500 kg whereas most Mercs, particularly E classes weigh in over 1700kg. This may be why I am unimpressed with the Green Stuuf ?? Any comments/experience with Red Stuff ?
