I'm not convinced that a converter is really going to do the job anyway...

The reason for using radial is that it eliminates the flex in the normal mounting points. If all you're doing is adding a converter to this, that mounting point will still exist and, in theory, so will the flex. You'll just be transmitting the flex down the caliper and the converter to the mounting point.

£500 quid sounds "reasonable" for radial mount calipers and the converters, but I'd spend the extra and get the proper fork bottoms rather than converters.

Whether you'd notice the difference is another matter, but if you can notice a difference between the standard Brembo calipers and the 4-pad ones, then I'm sure you would notice the difference in radial too.

Besides, if they didn't work then nobody would be using them, right?

Interestingly, I read in this month's Motorcycle Racer magazine that Sir Alan of Cathcart really rates the Braking Wave disks, especially the new "Bat Flight" ones. Maybe this would be a better (and cheaper) upgrade option if you want more braking power?
