FWIW (maybe less than 2 cents), I've overheated my Galfer Wave floating rotors on my mountain bike just as often as the more traditional designs with lots of cutouts. That said, I've noticed less warping, so there might be something to their claims. Not sure where the claim for more surface area comes from, as surface area is determined by the area of the pads, and with all the cutouts on the rotor, one gets the impression, if anything, of less surface area on the rotor.
I guess, if you're wearing or warping rotors, they are probably worth a try. That said, in spite of the fact I spend a lot of time braking (in order to go fast), have yet to wear out a rotor on the R1200. So..., might not have much feedback to this question on this forum.
