What is it with these Benzes and their brakes?

I've owned four Benzes and I've had brake rotor/caliper issues with all four. How is it that I can drive Lincolns for years without ever replacing the rotors or calipers? (Except for my 1979 - Lincoln's ill-conceived foray into 4 wheel discs). Why are Benz brake systems so sensitive?
