dual circuit brakes-what if discs and drums? 120-130

Hi all - read the thread on +s and -s of doing a dual circuit conversion and took the consensus to be that it's worth it so long as a diagonal setup is used. While ruminating on this, I wondered: what if you've got discs on the front and drums on the rear, a not uncommon arrangement. Doesn't that run some risk of an "unbalanced" stopping action should one circuit fail? That is, if you've got drums all around, doesn't make sense unless diagonal, if discs and drums, dual circuit, one fore and one aft is an improvement. Whaddya say?
