It's just plain no fun to work with, and requires a very good flare tool. I've done it and it's not worth the effort.

Much better all around is copper nickel brake line, real easy to flare, bend, and extremely corrosion resistant.
It is now available at most auto parts stores and good prices can be found on eBay for example search for part number CNC425.
