Why spring for the extra if you don't need to? The "sedan" m/c is much 
cheaper via economics of scale and is perfectly sufficient provided you don't 
have the exceedingly rare vented rears on a 5k Avant. The sedans and wagons 
are taking the same front calipers/rotors and the only option for the rears 
is vented/non vented.

Anybody got an OEM 5ktq Avant with vented rears?

Can we page Steve Manning? He went through all this with his wagon...it's 
probably on his site.
