Stainless Brake Line Modification

I'm in the process of planning my brake line upgrade to braided stainless using the hose/fittings in this thread:

My question for those who have done it, how are the "loop - over" modifications doing? Still a good idea?

This picture is from post #81 from the above thread.

I've been using a loopover on 2 bikes for a couple of years. No problems, works great.

Tidies up the lever end over a 2 line direct from master.

This is true but it sure does untidy up the caliper fender area.
What's wrong with the stock configuration? If nothing else it sure does look better(stock) in my opinion.

Nothing wrong with the stock configuration. I currently have the 3-line setup but the loop-over has fewer parts. Just exploring the options.

Loop over will save money on hose ends. Nothing wrong with that.

This is true but it's worth the extra 20 bux for it to look good.

Depending on how you do it.... Mine is tight to the fender & looks cleaner than stock in my opinion..
