I don't remember it being advertised as cheaper. Instead it is described as lighter, stronger, and more flexible. Nylaflow is cheaper. Brent Regan's post sums it up: http://lancaironline.net:81/Lists/lml/Message/39754.html The DH400 website: http://www.dhinstruments.com/prod1/ft.htm and catalog: In an interesting coincidence, I installed my DH400 brake lines today. I ordered them almost two years ago, but just now got around to it. For the 235, I had them made 137 inches long. One disadvantage I found was that the pre-installed -4 flare nuts require about a 3/4" hole in each bulkhead they pass through. The old Nylaflow lines could be easily replaced by dragging the new line with the old through 1/4" holes, then swaging the ends. I had to pull the aft curved portion of the seat pans out to modify t= he holes through the root ribs. ... That's why I waited 2 years. Didn't want t= o do that. -bob
