Quick answer - power brakes are for girly men.

The diesel uses a vacuum pump driven by the engine, which requires power, which means more fuel, for something I almost never use anyway. I already disabled the pump, and the brakes work fine without it, but they'll be even nicer once the booster is gone, coz I won't be fighting the spring and lack of vacuum inside the canister.
