EBC Front Brake Disc - Opinions

I am just about to purchase my front brake disc. After much deliberation I am going for the EBC offerings using the XT660.com discount. Does anyone have anything to offer either good or bad for these discs?

If not I am ordering it later tonight and will let you all know how I got on with the supplier, disc quality, performance over the standard OEM disc.

I will use a standard pad as well.

I have done extensive reasearch already hence the post on second opinions (inconclusive). I first was going to get the wavey but read they are poor as well. I had heard little negative replys on the EBC's, just a couple of people saying they rattled.

Thats why I posted here as anyone fitting a disc here is likely to have fitted it to an XTX not a Fireblade or other sports bike. Its not like for like, maybe EBC are poor on those bikes but thats not relevant. Has anyone fitted to our bikes and whats the result. Worth it or not?

I think the Waveys are very much manufacturer specific as to quality. For exmaple i've not heard bad words about Galfer... but i have about cheap Chinese ones...
