What is it that you dislike about flat mount?

It is true that by definition it only accommodates 140mm/160mm rotors, but some frames/forks are built so that its flat mount will accommodate 160mm/180mm rotors.

The swap you did from 160mm to 180mm would have been just as easy with flat mount - for the front, you'd swap the orientation of the mounting plate, and for the rear you'd either insert or remove the mounting adapter (2 bolts on each).

One pain in the butt with flat mount is that the mounting flats must be perfectly parallel with the axle, but that should be done by the frame manufacturer.
