If we're looking for testimonials, I switched the TR6 to DOT5 in 1996 and 
other than the occasional need to rebleed I have had no issues. But that was 
freshly rebuilt/renewed system.  I recommend it highly for fresh systems.  
But keep in mind that if you just change fluid on an old, about to fail 
system it will still be old and about to fail.

My philosophy is that brakes are no place for short cuts.  Make sure they 
are working properly.
