Any advantage to running all steel braided lines versus just steel brake lines? I see more people going with all steel braided lines, no real bends to have to actually make as the steel braided lines flex around corners, etc.

I am thinking it is just a cost issue.
Hard line is way cheaper than braided line.

IMO braided are only needed where you need travel or movement. Steel lines are ridged and run nicer along the frame. Braided lines can sag therefore require more ancor points. Braided can move around while in motion and cause chafing. Steel lines are also smaller in diameter requiring less space. Braided are a good upgrade from rubber lines, but keep the steel lines. Again just my opinion.

I think you would have a hell of a time running braided line into the handle bar of a FL400 to get to the masters.
