I think that the custom adaptation is just right; after all, it is an Atlantis. Also, practically, one reason for disc brakes is that they eliminate rim scouring -- recall a 20 mile ride on my Joe Starck custom Riv Road gofast where I got caught in the rain on the return; even ~10 miles was enough for at least light scouring on the front (single front caliper brake) rim as grit in water splashed onto the rims. (Discs also allow very light rims to be used if that's of interest.)
But if I were to customize an Atlantis with discs, I'd want it done symmetrically and right.
