    Macroline is easier to adjust, change, and remove. And the colored hoses are pretty too.

        I always use macroline. I've never had a problem with it bursting, even when i'm running 1000 psi output from my flatline. I hate steel braided line, i can attribute every scratch on my gun to it.

          I like the macro the best but my angel came with steel braided and I no I'm way to lazy to change it so I say go with steel braided. It also will never leak if you take care when putting it in the first time.

                  steel braided, let me tell you why...one time i went to slide into a bunker (i slide on my knees keep in mind) god knows what happened, but the macro bursted, venting alllllllll of my air, needless to say, i was done for that game, ever since i have used steel braided. but i also do just like steel braided, i think it's actually easier to work w/, or fix a minor leak

                    steel braided is a lot more durable and you don't have to worry about it bursting on you. If you're worried about it scratching your gun just use heat shrink wrap, which is what I do.

                      Macro has bursted on my twice, with 2 different sets! Steel has never ever given me a problem, which is what I use. Yet my friend uses MICRO line, never bursted on him...

                        SS is my choice. If your worried about scraches or want colors use some heatshrink on the SS lines. Heatshrink comes in lots of colors

                          It's a matter of personal choice. Soem people say that the steel lines can take more punishment but the macro has the advantage that it can be cut to what ever length that you require. I have run both and personally I preffer the macro because I can cut it to length. What ever you choose to use make sure that install it correctly and take care of it. Even Steel lines can break.

                              no one ever says ne thing about the weight of the SS now if ur trying to keep ur marker light like i try too, this concerns me, the SS is A LOT heavyer then the macro, i have never had problems with macro even running at 1000, never poped but i do keep extra in my toolbox just in case.
