Opinions ?? HEL Brake Lines

Right, the bike is coming up for two years in May (if I can actually get it out of the garage before then), so the brake fluid will need replacing.

At the same time I'm thinking I might ditch the rubber lines and put some braided ones in, see if I can't stiffen the feel of the brakes up a bit (Tom - I know you have these, do they make a difference to the feel?)

OK, HEL have two sets on offer:

and

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HEL-Brake-Line...item19b8ae0414



I'm looking for opinions on the two options, I can't choose between the Race setup (two lines, from the lever, one to each of the calipers) or the OEM setup , (one line that splits). The physics of it are the same either way as I can't alter the size of the piston, but is there any difference in feel...

Anyone tried both systems (maybe on a different bike even) ? is there any benefit of one over the other ??
