center lock v. ISO six bolt rotor

Jay Beattie said:

Is there was anything good or bad about the Shimano center-lock
approach versus the ISO six bolt approach. I want to build a second
set of wheels, and see some pretty cheap cross wheels with center-lock
hubs at Nashbar. I currently run hubs with the ISO six-bolt pattern.

functionally, you won't notice the slightest difference. /big/
difference in disk prices though.

Other than having far fewer options for replacement discs with the
Shimano setup?

I suspect that the center-lock discs will be the Octalinks of brakes
in the long run.

No real advantage, or disadvantage. You can always put a 6-bolt adapter on
the splines.

Possible advantage is that it's quicker to undo the lockring than 6 bolts
when you want to fiddle?

The only (and very slight) mechanical difference is that the CL also
sports a six-rivets ifxation, and therefore adds the weaknesses of
both. But as this is (imho) absolutely no limiting factor, just ignore
it (and smile to the marketing blahblah saying CL is stronger ;o).

The differences are only practical and mentioned above.
Personnaly, I'd also avoid it for moral reasons, as it is a mechanical
mortal sin to introduce a new unneeded standard ;o).
