But it doesn't have all the heat dissipation benefit of a true floating rotor design. While it gives a little benefit in weight reduction and some protection to the bearing hub, it doesn't provide true tangible benefit in proper heat management that a true two piece floatie would.

Just pointing out some of the obvious. It's still a good alternative upgrade to say, drilled or slotted traditional one piece. It's still not as good as using a floatie like the Motorsports Euro Floaties on the M3 ZCP/CSL. But those floaties are a lot more expensive too.
