Oh yes, for sure! I have no doubt an upgrade would come with more breaking power. And the wow factor, of course! The 6 pot calipers look great!
I am keeping this bike stock though, and I am fine with pressing harder on the lever. Grip exercise, haha Might be good for health! But yes, modifying a bike I'd do brakes upgrade as well. The only thing I might do on my bike is getting stainless steel braided lines. They offered quite a noticeable braking power improvement on my other bike.
I ride 'defensively', never, or rather very seldom, I push the buttons coming closer to other road users. Of course, you can find yourself in traffic very close behind a bad car or a truck driver. But as a rule, I keep distance. And going through intersections, I slow down, often until eye contact, unless the road is completely clear. In fact, its easy to lock the rear and front tires and slide. With powerful breaks it would be even more sensitive. In a peculiar way, weaker breaks might be of advantage in certain situations. That's my take on this anyway, I'm used to it.
