If anyone knows that I'm fulla beans on this, please speak up. But I do think brake cooling is important.

I'm with you. But if you wanted to put Moons or some other smoothie on the inside, you'd have to do some fabbing to make it go and still get the mounting done. If you're going to go to all that trouble, may as well work up some custom jobbies that cover unnecessary turbulators, while leaving plenty of flow around the brakes.
