All crossed drill rotors will crack from heat cycles.
Yeah, for sure the RB rotors are better cuz they are not cross-drilled, will have to see how big of a difference there are in terms of cracking between the two. That said, the RB rotors cracked anyways...

The 2mm RB chose to increase in thickness can however make some pad/shim combo to not work. So it's a trade-off there.

Given the cheaper price, I can probably take the cross drill and the thinner thickness. As long as the vane design is as efficient as the ones on the RB for maximum cooling for the size.
