Pancake brake

I have seen these hovering just under the radar for a while, I have been interested to see what they can do as doing away with the piston and indeed sticky piston can only be a good thing. (You'll know what I mean if you've ever had to strip clean and replace a piston and seal on a disc brake.) This design in theory should eliminate that.

Are the any good though?
