OK, if full-floating buttons work so much better, why do we have the semi-floaters? I see the Corse Dynamics full-floaters warn of more rattle, and it puts me in mind of the Ducati dry clutch situation where the more they rattle, the more they seem to wear. Perhaps this isn't relevant because all the motion in a brake disc situation is in one direction, consistent and relatively-smooth. Maybe it's just a question of degree: semis will compensate for minor/residual disc runout but fulls are needed in the worst case. Note that neither will compensate for disc thickness variation and it wouldn't take much!
