I agree with you. As an example,my T-bucket has a 7/8" bore on the front and a 13/16 bore on the rear. They are operated by a balance bar. This is with drum brakes front and rear.

My current project will most likely wind up with 3/4" bores front and rear on a balance bar. Might use a 5/8" if I need to get the pressure I want. This car will have discs all the way around.

Both cars are manual brakes. On the new car, I'm shooting for a fairly low pedal effort (around 100 lbs) so my wife can drive it easily.
