what clutch have you got atm...standard organic?
my old gze had a 3 puck button clutch...a little annoying to get used to at 1st as you'll find the clutch is either engaged or it isnt button clutch is a little harder to ride when it comes to the around town stuff but the advantage is when you wanna give it some it will bite...no slip whatsoever...& depending how you drive it will last around 6-12 months
button wont be as "heavy" as a heavy duty clutch with a large sized pressure plate

i am having a really good run with a Daikin organic clutch plate. and i had the fulcrum points moved on my old pressure plate to give it more clamp pressure.
this is on a 4agte running a low 7psi.

if you go organic wont you find that you'll need a larger pressure plate (1tonne+) otherwise you'll be changing the clutch every 2 months?
you've gotta weigh up the pro's and cons.
standard disc/HD pressure plate too heavy, not really suited to prolonged abuse...wears out quicker
3 puck brass button solid centre too grabby, no good for a daily driver but you will get used to it...good for 4k launches
im not sure but i think you can get some sort of a hybrid 5puck brass/ceramic clutch disk and slightly larger pressure plate and get the best of both worlds...cant you???
