Using copper tube for brake pipes is absolutely fine for the first fitting. However if you ever need to remove a pipe, to change a hose or a calliper, for example the steel nuts usually end up twisting the copper pipe as you undo the union so you will need to replace the pipe all over again. You don't get this problem too much with Kunifer pipe but it can happen.

Over time stainless steel brake pipes may face corrosion and need replacement, and rubber pipes may be cheap but are also prone to break.

I bought Kunifer brake pipes for my restoration. But I will stay with steel pipes because there are original. The copper looks in my opinion a little bit like poorly restored..This is my opinion.Each brake line to rear could not be removed in one piece, I worked out two cut points where needed. With patience they where removed to enable them to be used as templates for making new lines. The ones in the engine bay all look fine, however they are 33 years old so I fancy replacing them. The ones that came off the standard calipers however were well past their use by date by the looks of them, I actually snapped one removing it. I imagine the ones on the rear axle will be a state too when I get to doing them.

There must be a reason. i would rather pay more and do the job once, right, than find out it could have been done better once I've used copper. If you see what I mean. I restored a Triumph Herald 19 years ago and fitted your pipes and silicone fluid, I have not needed to touch them at all in all this time, I must say excellent products.
