Also question - I’m seeing minisplit line sets (not pre-charged) at prices ranging from $270 for 25’ to $170 for 50’. Some have flares and nuts, others don’t, but I’m planning to cut to length and flare myself anyway.

Is there really a predictable difference in line quality between brands and sources? I am inclined to buy the cheapest linesets. I need four so the price diff can be $400 ish.
