From my personal experience on the race track and road, you won't really notice that much difference unless heavily braking, from say 160+ k/ph down to 60 and below. It is under these conditions that you will notice the "solid" feel of braided lines instead of a sorta squidgyness of rubber. I also have braided lines on my bike, this is where they make an insane difference as the MC has no buffer from the vacuum booster and is totally 100% of what you are applying with your finger.
Braided lines will give you that extra 5% of feel, which can often be the difference between locking the wheel up and braking effectively, of course ABS is a different kettle of fish.
(Definatley a bit more effective with two wheels).
