Not going for the latest is not synonymous with going backwards.
I've got DA 9000 on my Scott, and those are incredible brakes imo. At least in dry conditions they easily have the stopping power of the BB7 disks on my AWOL and the TRP Spyres on my Diverge. Frankly I'm always blown away by how effective they are.

Now I don't ride that particular bike in the rain (if I can help it) and I expect the brakes wouldn't fare as well in wet conditions, but my goodness they really are great.
