While you have the system drained for the line replacement is the perfect time to clear the calipers. They are stupid-simple: 4 bolts and an O-ring. Then you have easy access to clean and check the passages and pistons.

If they're that easy to get apart then I agree no good reason not to take a look. Looking at the little clip washers on the ends of those pins has me expecting another trip to the dealer for replacements if I yank them off.
