I am more interested in a smooth ride than razor sharp handeling.

It may be that there is a desire by some to achieve these qualities by simply bolting on new parts without accessing adequate information or the requisite skills for accomplishing those goals. The head steady is an excellent case in point.

Soldiers of the Red Army where shot on the spot for that , and the bullet (20 köpeke ) had to be paid by their families ! .
A well prepared Commando can still fight , but he has to choose his battlefield . My riding partners have 3 times the horsepower , but they can't loose me in the mountains . ( eh , downhill , that is..)
That's why I think it is better to spend money on brakes and headsteadies than buy some extra horses , which will only ruin your gearbox .

The whole disc system that the Norton came was a deficient design. As has been talked about the hyd ratio is WAY wrong, the to small diameter rotor allows the large diameter wheel to have to much leverage on the brake and the severely small pads are lacking in surface aria so yes you can make it marginally better but DON'T FOOL YOURSELF it is NOT a GREAT brake.
Not to worry, I replaced the original drum with a norvil 12" disc; however, I do use the original Lockheed mc, sleeved. Plenty brake for the bike, no ill effects on the forks, without a brace. However, the Roadholders are not up to the challenge, so I've switched over to the Cosentini cartridges.
