Yes, I understand on a mountainbike (a serious one anyway) that disks are the way to go. But on a road bike I just don't see a problem with the V brakes' braking power.

The disc brake pad swaps must be a whole lot easier, though. I can change car brake pads faster than my bike, including jacking the car, taking the wheel off and everything. On the V brakes I have there are just too many variables. There is pad toe camber and caster (effectively) plus pad x,y,z position. Drives me crazy getting them dialed in. And the rubber wears fast so thick pads require re-adjustment and thin pads wear out quickly.
