Whoever told you that 6pots are crap are talking out of there arse.
The reason why your brakes aren't working properly is because the pistons in the calipers have seized with the winter salt.
It gets behind the dust seals in their grooves (and occasionally the fluid seals), crytalises and forces the seals to pinch the pistons (which makes them seize).
You can split the calipers, strip and carefully remove the seals,scrape out the salt, regrease with rubber grease (not normal grease as it makes the seals swell) and then reassemble them. I did mine last week and it made a massive difference.
