Does anyone know why radial brakes work better cos I can't see how they would.

I personally don't like the look of em either.

My mate fitted AP radial callipers to his 996RS last year using adapter plates, these replaced the 6-pot APs that were already on the bike Mark Buldock that was racing the bike told me they were a big improvement. He then went on to win the North Glos SoT championship as well as the Open and Powerbike championships so if he says they are a improvement I tend to believe him.
