you could do a lot worse than spend your money optimising what you have.
I cant agree with that surely depends what you have in the first place. Have you ever heard of the one good stop theory for brakes by manufacturers? Basically if the car will stop from high speed down to a halt its not deemed neccessary that it will be required to repeat the feat immediately as the brakes will cool down before being called on again this at least was the theory American car manufacturers apparently worked to and no doubt most other standard passenger car makers and if you have ever tried to do several fast laps with standard single piston sliding calipers as fitted to a heavy old camaro even with uprated pads and find you have no brakes you will see what I mean.
