Hey look! More than twice the failure points of a normal brake system, and only 4 times as expensive! And I'll bet it increase braking efficiency by 0% and reduces brake fade by 10% (and probably 0% over a water cooled secondary system). Where do I sign up?

If your brakes are really getting so hot, you need to cool the fluid, you're not running the right fluid. If your brakes are getting so hot the calipers need more than air cooling, a more simple water cooled system will work just as well, and won't drop the pedal to the floor if there's a failure.
