if we are talking about cost stay with the GTE 256.... if we are talking about performance... the 4-pots are in a different country to the GTE stuff

For track days, racing use 4-pots

For everyday drive don't waste your money you'll never really usethem to the full potentinal. esp as 256brakes can be had for £40-50, you certainly won't get 10x the performance, and you have to add the cost of pads and brakes lines aswell to a wilwood kit.

So to some up, normaly driving 256mm, track daying 4-pots.
