;-)

I suspect that some old hoses may get "soft" with age. Replacing those should 
make a system feel solid again. I doubt if it matters what you replace them 
with. So I believe you when you say that your new stainless lines made a 
noticable improvement, but I think it's important to remember that this is a 
comparison between an OLD rubber hose and a NEW stainless hose.

I just believe that you would have noticed the same improvement if you had 
installed new rubber hoses.
