You can simplify by making them yourself. Use Nicopp (Nickel/copper} brake line and make most any brake line you ever need to. I replaced the entire brake system on my 1993 K3500 truck and it flares easily, bends easily and will never corrode. I've used steel line to make brake lines many times and flaring and bending it can give you fits.

Only downside is you need a double flare flaring tool to finish the ends of the lines. I already owned a double flare tool so it wasn't any problem to make my own lines.

There also is no waiting, and being disappointed when either the pre-made lines don't fit, or were crushed by the delivery people.

Just a suggestion, your car, and your decision.
