If that doesn't bother you, or you don't mind ordering a few to keep on hand (ordering online is cheaper) then it's a great way to go. I've always preferred to keep the cars user friendly, meaning the throw away parts (consumables) available at local stores. So ordering a handful to keep on hand, and save money from the local store might be a viable option.

The only other issue with it is for those making decent HP that need bigger line eliminates the use of the OEM filter/regulator setup because they are just too small.
I took the inspiration for my setup from the Corvette/LS system. I went with an efi return regulator back by the tank, and I run an inline filter and gauge before it hits the throttle body unit.

I've done the fuel command center, and the in-tank pump. Both work, but of the two, I prefer the in-tank pump. Cleaner, cooler, and less plumbing.
