When we changed to Mor/Ryde I.S., we also decided to keep our electric drum brakes due to the cost difference as well as maintenance. While at the Mor/Ryde shop, we were also told individually by the shop manager, shop supervisor and technician that worked on our unit that the Dexter 12" electric drum brakes that were on our Suite were the best drum brakes ever made and more than adequate for our size rig. The drums showed minimal wear in 5 years and 45000 miles of use and we have never had an issue stopping, even in emergency situations. By keeping our drum brakes, it saved us $3000 when installing the I.S. Disc brakes would be nice, just do not feel they are necessary in our case either.
