Brake Upgrades!

I recently purchased a 2012 FZ8 which had already been upgraded with R1 wheel/rotors and calipers. The brake master cylinder is still the stock one and I was wondering if it would be worthwhile upgrading to something a little more beefy.
In particular I was looking at the brembo RCS19 master cylinder.

Has anybody used this one?
Will it work with my combination of components?
Any thoughts about other parts are very much appreciated!

After looking at my OEM brake cylinder on the handlebar I noticed that that the mirror screws into a mount on the actual brake cylinder... The brembo one doesn't seem to have that :-( I guess I'll need to buy an additional mount for that. Luckily brembo has a suitable adapter/mount:
CarpiMoto - Clamp with Mirror adapter for Brembo RCS Master Cylinder
Does anybody know if the FZ8 mirrors have M8 or M10 threads?
The list of parts (=price) needed for the upgrade is getting longer and longer....

You could do that or get some aftermarket bar ends...crg in my opinion is the best...extremely better field of vision than stock too...check out motomummy.com

May have the brembo for cheaper

Just plain crazy...
I don't know the threads for the mirrors, but grab a set of crg side mirrors and go to town!
the Brembo is something i have been wanting to do since i did my R1 front end swap, im anxious to see you do it!!!!
