Cables/housing

Anyone try this stuff?

I was just going to get a Jagwire kit in carbon or something, but ran across this stuff. I know I hate coming across housing where the inner wire coil is rusting, particularly if the outer is translucent. Are most modern cable housings now stainless coil in them? These don't seem too badly priced. Since the housing is only 2500mm, I may need to measure to make sure this would be enough, including a loop for the RD.

Edit: Or if you have something else you like, let me know. SS cables mandatory.
