Brake Upgrade Questions?

I want to update my brakes to a bigger rotor because i burn up and warp my rotors now.

I am deciding between the Baer Brakes and the 1LE swap. Is baer better than the 1LE or are they the same, just that 1LE is cheaper?

To answer your question: Though I have no experience with Baer, I doubt there's a significant difference between the two. I'm satisfied with the 1LE's.
