Default SS brake line questions

I know this question has been asked many times but i can get russell SS brake lines for around $85 shipped. What exactly is wrong with them? some people say they are too long but some people say they have no problems with them. Should i go for it or are the more expensive ones much better? thanks

I put earl's SS lines on, piece of cake especially when they label each line for the car. Next up is the C5 Brake upgrade.
