    Not really, Ive got some red dot discs and they definately feel slightly sharper.

    Although I wouldnt bother with that deal as the back grooved discs probably arent worth it.

    less brake dust? surely more as the grooves cut into the pads more thus causing more brake dust?

    but the grooves help to get the dust away quicker... well does on mine.

    the grooves are there to stop glazing of the pads and to vent hot gases away. simple as. They will create more dust. Grooved over standard are better.
