Rear disks are infinitely cool, but they won't make your braking system
noticeably better.  (BIGNUM)% of the braking is handled by the front
brakes, and the rear drums are more than adequate for the remainder.
Besides, you'd have to think up a way to rig a handbrake.

The biggest benefit would be ease of pad replacement.
