Default Turbo Inlet Hose

So I need to replace my Turbo inlet hose. While I'm at it I'm gonna get the newer style diverter valve hose so that it's down by the belly pan(where it should have been in the first place) So just wondering what you boys think I should do? Is it worth the extra expense for the APR hose or should I stick with the factory hose.

My options:
New factory inlet hose $56.00
New diverter valve hose $51.00
New fitting from inlet hose to diverter valve hose $12.00
Total $119.00

Or
APR Motorsport Turbo inlet hose $159.00

New Diverter valve hose $51.00
New fitting from inlet hose to diverter valve hose $12.00
Total $222.00<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/ms_compressor_hose.html">http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/ms_compressor_hose.html</a</li></ul>

Default leave the DV where it is

not worth the extra $65 bucks to relocate it.

I have the APR hose and it is nice, fitment isnt perfect but to be expected.

Can't really judge the performance on it because I installed that and a test pipe at the same time.

I need to swap to the newer style hose because of my EVOMS FMIC. With the 97 style DV hose it's jury rigged to the lower intercooler piping.
