[Fot] TR6 Brake Master question

Still a rookie racer with my 72 TR6. My car has been upgraded numerous times
from the suggestions and insights provided by the FOT members. My current
question is, does anyone use the stock brake setup? I mean the Power booster
and single master cylinder unit. I have upgraded the pads and rear brake
cylinders with the larger Lockheed units, and added a brake bias to limit
pressure to the rears. It seems that if  you can get the wheels to lock up,
you have more then enough braking power-correct? I haven't got to the level
where braking deep into corners is a major concern for obvious reasons. 

I
guess what I'm after is, what are the, 'REAL" benefits, if any, of the duel
master brake units with an adjuster bar placed between the two, that a fluid
bias cannot provide? I agree the duel units add a great racing look, but is it
really worth the cost and effort to convert?
