Maybe the rubber ones I had on my old SC were really bad, but I did notice a huge difference in initial bite and feel. Couldn't say for sure about good rubber vs. stainless steel or how much of all that is dampened by power assist and/or ABS.
I sure thought it made a difference too... on 1971 rubber lines.
