yeah, it just seems like a mismatch of rotor to caliper - either a deeper caliper or a rotor with less depth available would be a better match.
if they are sourcing existing parts that work to keep costs low then I fully understand. I've done the same thing customizing cars for years, but if they are having them made for the bike then it seems that a simple change to the disk profile that goes to the cutters would make it a little nicer.
