9 Points - Just something I've observed. When you have a temperature mismatch between the brake units on the same wheel, its usually the case that the hotter one is an old unit with more wear than the newer one. Guessing it works something like (for the new brake unit) More mass = more material to absorb the temperature increase = lower peak temperature.
