Can you guys help me out here ? Im planning ahead to buy some braking power for my Supercharged M5 but i can't make up my mind.

I was considering Stoptech, Brembo, and Movit but now i decided to narrow it down to Movit and Brembo. i can't make up mind now to gun for which of the top two. I have made some research and got to know that Movit uses 325mm 993 TT brakes and the Brembo's use 355mm. The Movit's price has recently gone down from $2,900 to $2,300 and Brembo's sale price is $3,400. I also know that Movit have less brake pedal travel when applying brakes, which i like, but im not sure about the Brembo's. Brembo has the name but that comes with a $1,100 premium and on the other hand you can get Movit with Porsche calipers which in my opinion isn't a good idea!

All in all, this is the case and i can't make up my mind. So can someone help me in making a decision please ? Thanks in advance.
