Looking at the production numbers and when front disc brakes were introduced, I can see most Amazon came with that configuration. Over two times as many have disc brakes than drums, in fact.
I also came across a youtube video where someone replaced the front drums with discs. Not because the owner felt the necessity for an upgrade, but purely out of practical reasons with regards to parts availability. When the video was recorded, front drums were unobtainable, but disc brake parts were. It was recorded three years ago, so fairly recently.
Parts are available now, but I have the impression later front drums have less support.
Since I'm also daily driving my Amazon, I am inclined to go for a single circuit front disc configuration as well. By the looks of it, this should bolt straight in without any further modifications.
