			Excessive is a value judgment.  I never found having rear disc brakes excessive.  I had TopLine front and rear brakes.  If my next project parallels my first, I will probably upgrade the front brakes further and do something very similar for the rears. 
 
One way to straddle the decision is go with Type 3 rear drums.  I have no experience whatsoever with the set-up, but the consensus I have heard is the Type 3 drums are an upgrade over stock Type 1 drums.
