RTP Rotors or Brembo's?

I am in the process of finalizing an order and the suplier insists that I get some advice from all you 4th Gen Org members that have purchased them. So do you guys think they're worth buying or should I pay the extra $20.00 and get Brembo's instead?

Ive got the RTPs on my car. They have been on there for about a year. Very good quality.

Dimpled means they poke holes but not all the way? Cross drilled means they poke holes all the way through the rotor?

Slotted means just those lines right?

Dimpled is like small "dents" in the surface

Cross Drilled are the holes that you are thinking of

Slotted have the diagonal lines indented (or cut) into the rotor

I did order them, should get by the weekend. Just went with the blanks since I've had problems with the crossdrilled on cheap rotors in the past

Thats why I went with the slotted/dimpled ones.
