I find my 410 brakes quite heavy but effective. I've only ever faded them once, on a spirited drive along the A421 in Milton Keynes, where there are 12 roundabouts connected by short stretches of dual carriageway just long enough to get up to 70 or 80 before braking hard for the next roundabout.
I have however cooked them quite thoroughly in mountains before now. No fade but lots of smoking when coming to rest. I think vented discs may be an improvement.
I know one chap who took his 411 around Castle Combe with enough gusto to have the paint on the Jaguar alloys fitted visibly bubbling and boiling when he came back in, but he said the brakes still worked perfectly.
