Anyone honest who knows plumbing will tell you that PEX is the way to go now. Pipes last longer than copper by eons. Pipes are easier to fit, especially in confined spaces. Fittings are brass, not cheap copper, and the y don't need to be soldered, just crimped in one tenth of the time !Copper is old hat - no longer any use - except to people who want to gouge you.
