850 caliper upgrade for 7xx / 9xx -- is it really an upgrade? 900 1995

EDIT: car is a 1995 940 wagon. It has the older, Bendix booster.

Basically what it says in the subject. I've read that one can install p80 front calipers and brackets (and longer hoses, I think) onto a 7xx / 9xx to improve feel, or something. So has anyone here done this, and what are your thoughts?

I'm asking because while starting a routine brake job this afternoon, I found one of my front caliper slider pins to be absolutely seized into the bracket. So I could do the smart thing, buy a bracket and be done with it. But of. course I can't seem to miss an opportunity to further ruin my car, so I'm thinking if I were ever to do the caliper swap, this would be the time. I really should replace the hoses anyway.


Thanks
