Not many thoughts other than I was thinking of doing the same - it seems an easy way to accomplish what needs to be accomplished. Obviously there will be fewer problems with "single feed" woes, meaning, the last port shouldn't get starved with that kind of flow behind it. If nothing else, you have the full fury of the fuel pump replacing missing fuel before the regulator even knows its gone. You could argue that there isn't enough back pressure from the regulator at that point but I think it's sort of pointless. Go with it, and tell me it's as awesome as I was planning on.
We'll see about the AN fittings direct. Its the same company as silicone intakes and they have a significant disconnect between their prices and their quality. It doesnt make sense how they have ebay or sub ebay prices on things that look like ebay products on the web but come in looking and feeling like name brand products that someone forgot to put a logo on. If they're better than summit brand AN fittings (ie, actually able to be assembled) I'll be happy.

Uhg, FPR's are so spendy. I thought I'd get a cheapy ebay thing, but a "good one" - you know, I don't have to get a $15 one, but I'd like to get top of the line junk... The problem is you just find people selling the same junk at different prices. I'm still pretty tempted to try one.
Speaking of ways to save a little green, why not run hard line - even if it's just up to the front of the car? It was certainly good enough for Mazda. I'm more and more a fan of the stuff. Just ran a bunch to my oil cooler, so now I have another hot surface to burn myself on under the hood and have to kick myself with people drooling over cheaply made crap every time I pop my hood.
I'm really selling it, huh? Anyway, should be WELL under $1/foot, lightweight, durable, and then just support it and switch to hose for the last couple feet. Seems the way to go.

I'm keeping the stock hardlines for now and using hardline-to-an adapter
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ear-AT165056erl < these exact ones, which are black version of http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ear-165056erl
I want to replace to hardlines in future but they will be steel lines and bending those requires $$$ tools.

Huh, I didn't think it was all that bad. I did all my stuff in alum, and as long as it's supported, it is fine. You'd support rubber line as often as you need to support alum, so what's the worry?
Not to mention, my old FM dual rail set up would vibrate and fall off all the time. At least 5 times my motor got doused in gas and the car would "run funny" from the lack of fuel pressure. So, while I wouldn't WANT a broken line under the car, it's not as bad as it sounds. :-)
... Man, I'm really glad to have that POS off my car. I've been much happier without it.
