Stainless Steel will "Corrode and Swell up" - from what, that highly concentrated hydrofluoric (or hydrochloric) acid you have a nasty habit of injecting into your cable housings before every ride????
What is this one based on?
Maybe I misinterpreted the "smiley face"....
I agree with the "Shimano" design thoughts, quality stainless inner cables, properly greased and maintained, with lined housings [maybe Shimano's are not lined or only derraileur housings are can't remember]...
