12mm micro-flexible Dreamstation 2 tubing?

Does anyone have any experience with this tubing. I've tried it, and it is very comfortable, but I have no idea how it holds up.

I used a DS2 for about 4 years using the 12mm heated tubing. It was extremely flexible and I hardly knew it was attached to the face mask. They held up really well and the hoses lasted for a long time. I do use a hanger that keeps the hose overhead which I think helps keep the hose from being rolled on or flexed excessively. My current CPAP is a Resmed AS10 and I wish the heated hose for it was as flexible as the Resperonics 12mm.

Thanks. I'm going back to the DS2 because the 12mm tubing is so very comfortable.

I should have mentioned that on the Resmed hose I have an extension on it which makes the end more flexible and closer to the 12mm hose. It doesn't appear to be available presently on Amazon (was about $10US), but possibly might be found on a CPAP supply retailer.
