Why are the 11.75 Brake Better?

Let me give you a quick story here if i may.
I factory ordered a 71 Cuda with disc brakes, and kept that car for 45 years, before i sold it.
In the later 70's when it came time for a front brake job, i had already collected front brakes off Cordoba's, St Regis, and Dodge Magnum cars that had the 11 3/4 inch front disc brakes on them.
Back in the later 70's, and then the 80's, it wasn't hard finding these cars at the Pick-N-Pull wrecking yards, out here in Commiefornia.
I got the brainy idea, to convert the Cuda to the larger 11 3/4 inch brakes as i had everything off the donor car, the spindles, rotors, calipers, brackets, bearings, nuts and bolts, everything, as that car came into the wrecking yard, with new brakes on it, before it got hit, and wrecked.
I put all that on the Cuda, and when i got done, i NEVER noticed any difference at all between the 10.85 inch rotors, and the bigger 11 3/4 inch rotors.
Guess that's because the car was already a disc brake car, and i was driving it for years, before i did the conversion to the larger diameter rotors.
Guess whoever owns that car now in 2023 is gonna hafta figure out the brakes, whenever parts might need to be purchased for that car, as it's changed hands a few time since i sold it off.
