Swapping rotors is easy, swapping calipers is something I don't want to do, so I'd just be giving up at that point.

PCCB on the Cayman's is not that large a weight savings. The larger rotors and calipers pretty much made it a wash on weight based on some other threads here. On the 997 it made a significant difference. And the A stock winning 987 did not have them. Most of the 996/997 GT3s that are competitive do.

Yeah, but AS competition was especially weak that year. That Cayman S was raw-timed by 4 seconds by a BS S2k CR (which, incidentally is classed directly against it now) and 6 seconds by the fastest SS C5 Z06 (which, incidentally, is also classed directly against it now.) Other "slower" classes raw-timing A Stock in 2010: CS, ES, FS, STS, STU, and STR.
The Porsche turnout was very good in 2011, though- 7 Cayman S, though they stopped showing up in such numbers after Corvettes started beating down upon them. I really did like the idea of AS as a Porsche class. Though now, it now seems like AS & SS have swapped; that AS is the Corvette class and SS is the Porsche class. Albeit an uber expensive Porsche vice Caymans, which are getting downright affordable.
