Is the $600 price jump worth it for the superlites?

There is more there than just the caliper.
12.19 x .81 rotors vs 12.88 x 1.10 rotors. Huge difference in piston area between the two as well. 5.06 vs 4.04
Are you racing? What is the intended usage? What size are your wheels? Manual or power brakes? are all things that either of those companies should ask you before completing the sale.

Fronts will be a 17 or 18in max. More drag racing but want ability to crossover to other types. Power brakes.

Superlites are lighter for a reason -- drag racing. Heavier rotors are for better continued heat dissipation, as in roadrace, spirited mountain driving, etc.
