Well, I haven't ever had steel braided before so its not like im trying to argue with you. But the explaination I recieved kinda makes since. I just thought other people would like to here two different opinions to make up their own minds. When you apply pressure to the brake during a stoppies and your near balance point, the slightest change in lever movement with steel braided will affect the pressure to the pads. With stock lines however some of the pressure will be used to expand the line so its not such an abrupt change in pressure and is therefore more forgiving. Like I side though, I haven't tried them both but I thought it was an interesting point of view that I've never heard before.
