I wouldn't hesitate one second to change to discs, if better braking was desired (fronts), and if for no other reason that has yet to be mentioned, much better driving/braking in the wet. I believe drums can be, when in a perfect setup pretty close to discs, in limtred stopping situations, but they seldom are in perfect balance/tune/heat/etc, and in every other hard barking situation, they become limited, just by design.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
