Default Multiple Master Cylinders

I've noticed several builds using multiple master cylinders and am curious why folks run this sort of setup and is it worth the extra time / effort / cash to implement.

Thoughts?

Default I like mine

but we made a custom unit and it too some time to get it just right. To do it again, I would buy a pedal set up from Tilton and graft it into my project and alter the pedals if need be to get around the steering column.... if that is causing a problem. Get the 6.1 or 6.2 ratio unit.

With the dual masters, you can size them correctly for the front and rear calipers and use the balance bar to fine tune.

I did mine for the look at first and then I found that i really like the feel of the brakes. If I were to build another I would do it again, but there is some work to get a dual dialed in.
