What made you go with these over PFC? What are there solving that AP isn't?

Yes, although up front I got the pfc13 pad and the rear rotors are not 343mm, they're 355. I think it's a typo on BW's behalf.
I'm not changing the brakes of the E90, that's the full pfc kit.
I'm replacing the ones on the F80 CS which has pfc front and ap radical rear with the alcon full kit.
Pfc does not have an f8x kit at all. My brother and i spent a few months working in solidworks and 3d printing samples to finally get the e9x front pfc kit, the z54, into the f8x. There it has worked flawlessly, after all, the e90 stroker with the full pfc setup is faster than the CS.
For the rear of the f8x we got the Ap Radicals as many have said they were top shelf kits.
After the 2019 season i was tired of the taper wear and was ready to adapt the pfc rear e9x kit to the f8x, but then the alcons came out and they are plug and play.
What i expect from the alcons is the same performance from the pfc but more durability. Pfc durability was great, but the alcon has a much beefier (and heavier) front rotor so i expect it'll last longer.
