Why do you not try just removing one caliper and one disk without changing anything else (i.e, the fork tube -just leave it on) that way the only proper mod would be the brake leads and if you do not like it you can put it back on easily. The weight saving would then be very close to a full conversion and would give you some idea of the benefits without breaking the bank.
I have to say the front brake on the R takes a lot of work to use when compared to the Z but the disks and calipers appear to be the same.
