    I have no objection to rigid pipe, but the cost.  For what they charge 
for Airnet, I could probably just use copper and come out ahead.

    With the flex tube system, on the other hand, I think I can do the 
whole garage for under $150.  A little more if I go with overkill on the 
drops ( and I know this list's position on overkill ;) ).

    For the same size pipe, black pipe isn't very much cheaper in the 
quantity I need... and I think I will use up that savings in my labor 
cost in no time.

    Thanks.
