Agreed. The name-brands have a HIGH markup, and I can easily see being able to produce comparable lines for much lower cost. It's just a short length of tubing with 2 swaged ends - very easy to make, and not a lot to screw up.

The braided covering has nothing to do with the rigidity of the line - it's just a covering/reinforcement. The increased resistance to expansion - 'squishiness' - is due to the more rigid teflon tubing.
