Can someone please let me know what the advantage of the new 'spin to 
compress' brake pistons are?

Seriously, were cars flying off the road with no brakes and I didn't 
notice it?

This new system requires more tools* (and they didn't even standardize the 
pattern), more effort, most of the time destroys the boot, and requires 
you to line up a pin with the de-tent so you can put the caliper on.

So what am I missing?  Why are these better?  I would image they are more 
complicated on the inside as well.  Also seems that they require more 
machining/parts to make.


*=I don't mind buying more tools, in fact I already bought the tool and 
I'm looking at an upgraded version of it.
