Braided Kevlar brake lines?

Galfer makes steel braided lines http://www.galferusa.com/humanpower/index.html
Jagwire uses a kevlar hose.
Personally i like the Galfer lines, they will custom make them to your length.

Goodridge and Hope also make/sell them.

Do these steel braided hoses really make a noticeable stronger feel over the traditional hose? They sure are pricey and look cool, but are they really that much better in performance? Others have told me not really noticeable.

Did everyone miss the Kevlar portion of the original post?

I don't see that hope makes Kevlar lines, Galfer makes custom stainless lines, and I can't find a website for Goodridge.
