Stainless hoses from hotrods?

Stainless hoses from hotrods?
Is there some reason people don't use them on the miata? It looks like it would fit.
Are they fragile or heavy or have some other failing? It seems built to solve our exact hose routing problem and they come in 4 foot or greater lengths if you look hard enough.

hardpipe weighs more and is more difficult to route around obstructions like belts and manifolds- unless you use rubber at those points, in which case you are back to the melting issue again. I don't know if it looks cheesy, but I'm not really sold on a mix of shielding wrapped rubber linking pieces of copper pipe together.
I like the setup that fatcat did though, that looked clean and functional.
And if shiny looks stupid, you can always either a) paint it black b) let it get dirty

Thermostat on back of head- hose goes down (only way you can mount the thermostat without hitting the coils and ending up on the other side of the head), under exhaust manifold, up over accessory belts, into radiator.
I think Jason routes the coolant hardpipe over the top, but he doesn't have coils or a CAS to get in the way (he has TEC3).
