Anyone switch from disc brakes to drum brakes?

I was looking at getting some 15" drag wheels for my car, and the problem is that my 16" rims barely clear the rear disc brakes that I swapped in about 10 years ago. I was considering swapping back to a set of drums so that wheel clearance is not an issue at all.

Has anyone done this? Is the rear disc setup really that much better in terms of stopping power?

I've heard people say that drums have better holding power for drag racing/hard launches. I have drums and want to go to discs...wanna work a deal?
