Changing pads has a big impact on brake feel, I might start there. Changing to a different caliper makes sense if you don't have enough pad area or if the caliper is flexible, which leads to a soft pedal and limited ability to modulate on the limit. Barring these issues, however, it does nothing for brake fade, etc.
As you yourself have suggested there probably isn't much to be gained here- the 1M brakes feel almost as good as the 6 piston, 350mm Porsche brakes when driven back to back, and those are pretty much best in class.
If you feel the need, however, anything can be done and it's not that complex to make some adapters up. I put 6 piston PCCBs on my '69 911; a simple caliper swap is a breeze in comparison...
