Default Should I upgrade to Spoon or NSX calipers?

I have a fully built 1995 Civic EJ1 coupe with the JDM DC2 5 lug conversion. It is a street/show car and not a track or drag car.

I am thinking about swapping the OEM ITR front calipers for the Spoon twinblock calipers, yet keep the OEM sized 11.1 inch rotors. My current brake setup is Brembo CD/slotted rotors, EBC greenstuff pads, Goodrich stainless lines, '95 Civic Si 4040 prop valve, and '01 Integra GSR brake booster and master cylinder.

After researching the Spoon 4 pot calipers, I know that I can still use my existing stainless steel brake lines, and still use brake pads of my choice that are OEM spec and sizing. The size of the calipers should be compatible with most aftermarket wheels that are 15" and above with 40-44mm offsets. The twinblock calipers are direct plug and play to the DC2 5 lug spindle.

After researching the NSX 2 pot calipers, same as above. Are all front NSX calipers the same from 1991 to the present???

Is it even worth it to upgrade to one of these caliper sets? Are there noticable differences between these caliper sets versus the OEM ITR calipers if all else stays the same?
