Really? I redid my whole house, my fourth and my first with pex, and I will never go back. I was a staunch copper holdout. It is just so easy, and with the crimp connections I can't ever see it failing. The lines are not exposed to uv so I can't see them deteriorating in any accelerated fashion. I suppose they could become brittle with time, but I have replaced enough copper to know that it has a life span as well, at least the joints do.
Nothing lasts forever.....
