I think its worth it to spend on proven quality when it comes to brakes. They are somewhat important.

I think you should go as cheap as possible on the brakes. Save the cash for a cool fender eliminator or tank pad

I have kevlar lines. I think they're cheaper than braided. Try them.

I figure brakes are like helmets: buy the best you can afford.

Well $100 for brand-name lines is a ripoff IMO. Isn't that what they charge for Galfer at Cycle Gear? It probably costs them $5-10 to make.
