carbon has a lower friction co-efficient than a lot of things, so it would require higher clamping pressures, but also probably has smoother engagement than a sintered bronze (brass button) type clutch, and as it has 6 buttons offers more engagement 'slip' than a 4-puck or simular..
I drove one for a fair while, had no real issues, but i also didn't have to drive in bumper-bumper traffic.
A twin plate will be 'nicer' to drive, and offer the same sort of torque capabilities, but the cost is generally prohibative..
a full face friction plate will have softer engagment, but will not handle the same amount of torque..
oh, and some twin plates are noisy when disengaged.
