Default Cool Flex vs Doc's Blocks

I know we all want the best for our Vette's are some things worth the cost? Please weigh in with opinions on these two products Cool Flex Corragated copper @ $154 for 36" kit Doc's Stainless Steel @ $65. I know copper is very expensive now Is it better? both come with the rubber to make fit Doc's site does not give as good info as Cool and is alot less snazzy Probally because He a local boy from Arkansas. You know we just been wearing shoes down here for a few years now Please let me know what you think Tom

Sorry too much moon shine this weeekend. I was trying to compair fluid hoses.http://www.coolflex.com/cfm/welcome.cfm
http://www.docsblocks.com/products.asp?cat=84&pg=3

There are the links to both sites. I just thought it might have been too stupid a question to get an answer. may be someone smarter than me can tell me if the Cool flex hose is better or just has better marketing.
Thanks

I used the Cool Flex in SS Chrome. Its pretty, seems to work ok, but I am not real excited about the ends on them. they are bulkier than I would like. All the makers use the same sort of end.

I love when you click on a picture expecting it to get larger and the link takes you to the same thumbnail size pic and the same information.

Anyway, I used Cool-Flex on my '82 with no issues. That was about 5 years ago and they still look brand new. I would agree though about the bulky ends, but not sure there is any way around it.
