I recently upgraded my Code RSC brakes with some new 200mm HS2 rotors. I highly recommend this upgrade; my brakes feel significantly better now compared to the original 180mm centerline rotors.
I did the upgrade at home and took approx 90mins to do both front and back.
I paired them with some new Sintered large pads, and the improvement is even more noticeable. The brakes are quieter, bite better, and no longer feel squishy or under-braked.
Have you considered upgrading to HS2 rotors for your ride?

90 minutes?! There are 8 bolts per wheel. lol
Yes, CenterLine rotors feels really weak after switching to HS2 rotors.
I have CenterLine rotors on my fatbike and wifes commuting bike and HS2 rotors on our Stumpjumpers. All those bikes have identical brake calibers/levers (G2 RSC/Ultimate).
I’m considering going 200/200 on HS2 rotors with my Hope brakes next season, but my XT rotors still have a lot of life in them, reckon they could last another season. I’ve heard they go really well with Hope brakes, especially in cases where there’s squealing and I get slight squealing in my back brake when braking lightly.
switched from centerlines to HS2 this year and i am not going back. more power and less noise.
