I don't want to run a brake yet they seem to be much harder on parts & I can't afford to break anything for about 5 years lol & I don't mind having 2 of everything either. I'll probably do a brake on a project later.
They can be hard on the weak link parts. If you're not looking for the extra tenth or losing by 100ths then stick with the foot.
Most in the victory circle use a brake.
