I'd much rather have the stiffer Aero6 caliper and take it off for pad changes than run the older and more flexible W6A. It’s only 2 nuts to remove the caliper anyways.

Also, Wilwood isn't the only one that makes pads for the Aero4/6. I can’t get to Wilwood’s site right now to verify but I believe the W6A/Aero4/Aero6 all use a #6617 pad plate; other manufactures like Hawk, Porterfield, Raybestos, Carbotech, offer #6617 pads.
