Will 180mm -> 203mm rotor make a difference?

Maybe I'll save a bit more and get matching RT-76 rotors then!
I got sent the wrong rotor once (but an upgrade!), so had to buy another to make them match again haha

The bigger upgrade from RT56 is the ability to run metal pads. The steel is treated differently so it's harder-wearing and gives a bit more grip for the pads (which helps with resin too). Metal pads will improve all aspects of brake performance, except when it's really cold.

I think this comprehensively answers my question!

Bollocks really? Ok their prices for floating disks are expensive for me now.

Also, why are Shimano 180mm rotors more expensive than 203mm?
