the stainless is better, the copper tubinh will eventually kinda like oxidize and turn to **** .the stainless wont . even though its more effort, its worth it to know it will look nice for a long time

Yup the ugly copper tubing would be the only down fall, your prolly right the stainless looks a whole lot better, Ill just deal with it. On another note dosent the tubing have to be flared on the ends, where would I buy a tool to do it? Sears or like Lowes?

Only one end is flared, the end going to the jet in the nozzel. The other end going into the distribution block is a compression fitting.

I think on a nx both ends have to be flared because the bolts coming out of the dist block have that rounded tip, and uses the same washers that the nozzle end uses.Anyone have anymore info on flaring the tips? Thanks
