Just got Power Stop Z17 brake pads for daily driving. But see Z16 are same pads but scorched. Any benefit at all and for whom?

Scorched brake pads are put under high heat and pressure to burnish the surface of the pad and get rid of extra resins and gases from manufacturing. The theory is that this improves your stopping power and reduces/eliminates break-in time.
