Stainless braided brake lines - is there a downside?

Is there a downside to having stainless braided brake lines on a daily driver?

For example, are they more likely to leak or something?

Thanks

No. None. All benefits. Better pedal feel. Higher reliability.

This and pads are my next upgrade. Feeling pretty good brake fade after about an hour of canyon runs

Same here.

Coupled with Motul RBF 660 and the stock pads, my M-Sport brakes are fantastic. Will probably go with Endless MX72+ in the near future.
