Not too sure about more reliable. Mud can pack in easier and gravel can chew the slide rubbers. With guards for the rubbers, and washing the brakes, it is completely worth it!

should all be the same as the 70 and 80 use the same parts on the axle I know because I went from 70 disc to 80 disc and looked at the part numbers brackets and calipers are the same
