I have had some bad results with uneven brake bias.At one time I had just 
the proportioning valve going the the rear brakes after the rears were up 
graded to discs on my Tr 6
  The trouble was I could never take enough  psi off the rear and that was 
not good The tilton system is not to costly and considering  the infinite 
adjustment from the cockpit. I would not want to be stuck with a shim 
adjustment.
  Now I can set them up as I like and don't have to settle for "there all 
most what I want"    good luck with your decision.     rob    ps If you go 
with the tilton set up and need the sizes  on the masters etc I will be 
happy to look them over and pass on the data I have 2 or 3 new masters that 
I could not use either to small or large  can't remember
