Downgrade of the brakes?

So I was looking at the changes for the 08 SLK55 and I noticed that the standard brakes are no longer the 6 piston front/4 piston rear anymore, but instead AMG seems to downgrade the brakes to the 4f/2r pot (seems like the C/CLK 55 setup). The only way you can get the 6f/4r setup along with the composite rotors is if you opt for the P030 package. I wonder if this affect the pricing as well.

I hope you don't think they'll lower the price. The only effect on pricing is the fact that the 030 option is now a better value.

Exactly, 08+ should go for the 030 package.
