I have a friend that will agree with this, he has 17 years of payments to
her left.

Generally, it  is the quality of the rubber.  The curved hose we find in the
auto part stores behind the counter in the back room inventory is not of the
same quality of the straight , pick your color, green, gold, white silver,
that you buy by the foot.  Try cutting each with a razor blade and the
contrast is significant.  The razor will slice through those hose bends with
little effort. Not so with your favorite stripe

I hear you, and that is fine if you want to do it.  However, I am not sure
what makes metal elbows superior to rubber ones.  you still need rubber
connectors.  And with metal elbows, you need more rubber to metal
connections (radiator to rubber hose, rubber hose to metal elbow, metal
elbow to rubber hose, rubber hose to curvy pipe that leads underneath the
car).  I have been lucky that no rubber radiator hose has ever burst with me
on any of my old cars or new cars.  Odds are that the rubber elbows are not
going to be bursting anytime too soon.
