A heavy caliper wont make your car feel slower in the straight away, but heavier larger rotors will.

I guess that's why a lot of people favour the 2-piece floating rotors where I come from.
I'm actually looking at getting the Spoon BBK meant for the JDM Accord CL7/CL7R. Over here we've got a lot of folks running their FDs with Euro-R stock brakes because they're a direct bolt-on, but the stock rotors are mighty heavy (can't recall the exact weight right now, but they're 300mm).
