Clarification on 73+ brakes

Here's a pic of why I thought I'd use these lines. Where the soft line and hard line meet is on the backside, so I didn't see a reason for the longer hose but that's why this forum is awesome! Now I don't have to find out the hard way. Thanks guys

What you don't see is when the caliper is at the OEM forward position that hose routes across diagonally. The geometry is just different, like the 2 attach points are always nearly the same distance rather than too close together and too far apart. Heck just hold that hose end up there and play/study with it.
