07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

Anyone add a Master Cylinder upgrade to their GMT800's? I have the NNBS setup, but need to do the master this week. Wondering if anyone knows of a decent master to look into as well?

I have the GMT900 front brake setup, but need to do the master this week.

I'd bet it's possible to upgrade my GMT800 Master Cylinder with a younger GMT900.
Have not found it necessary. Not saying I'm opposed to it, just that it's not needed.

My GMT800 MC, pumping on a 2010 Suburban front brake kit, has easily improved my 85MpH-0 by at least 20ft.
I STILL find myself underestimating how well my brakes will brake.

In order to further improve my braking, my guess is a fine-tuning of front/rear brake bias would be needed.
