As Bryce stated, running more brake than you need means packing around a bunch of unnecessary unsprung and rotational weight, the worst kind with respect to performance and handling. That said, if you're trying a build a car that can do any and everything, including 20-30 minute track sessions on street compound pads, then that extra rotor mass can make all the difference in the world. Aside from the obvious aesthetic advantages of the larger brakes, you need to decide what's important to you and where you rank your priorities.
