OEM's like Porsche and Ferrari develop advanced materials for brakes and the aftermarket tries to see how many pistons they can fit into a caliper and charge an arm and a leg for it. Ironic.

Isn't six enough, at what point do you really need a 12 piston caliper.
Brakes are like wheels were a few years big, the bigger the more bragging rights.

Just as an example, the Endless 6 piston Racing caliper (their full size) uses pads that are 310 x 168 x 77.7, the 12 piston uses pads that are 336 x 158 x 99.6, so the 12's are a fair bit bigger
The rotors on the 12 pot are huge compared to the already huge 6 pot ones
Overkill? Absolutely. The reason they offer it? Simple - Status, and marketing, pure and simple. The mere prescence of such a high end part, tends to help bring attention (media and public) to the rest of the product line.

Yeah kinda like how car companies have their "halo" car (NSX, Skyline, etc.) it is overkill but they do look oh so sweet.

The Stop Tech 6 piston pads are 500 per set I beleive (someone correct me if wrong, Chebosto?) so Im sure these are more! They are purdy though...
