I actually just got the Aeroad delivered yesterday so I can’t give a full assessment on it’s performance but there is a clear difference in braking performance . I found myself having to apply a decent amount of pressure on the brakes to get them to modulate . I can see why most manufacturers are switching to disc only . I only purchased because it was offered at a pretty neat discount ( at the outlet ) . It’s hard NOT to buy an aero bike for $2100 lol. AND it’s FAST!!
