997 TT caliper is also monoblock:

A single
block of aluminum forms the body

of each monobloc caliper—a
design that is extremely rigid,
robust and lightweight to further
reduce unsprung mass

By Brembo rules, not able to group buy on them. However for my favorite customers that promote us and our products online, I always take care of them.

Exactly the OEM rotors do fail easier. These are much more durable. Because of the design of the 2pc, you will have better pad wear, the rotor more on a center line with the floating design, and with the top pics posted above, you will better heat dissipation.
