(that, and that's what was on the shelf.) I didn't actually know
which was better, which is why I asked.

should the copper be replaced every x years then due to the
possibility of hardening/fatigue etc.? If so, what's "x"?

When you install the copper tubing, make a big loop. A *big* one, like
up to the top of the refrigerator and back. That way, when you pull the
fridge out, the tubing flexes all along a length of ten feet or more
instead of in one spot. Loop twice if you want. The extra length gives
you plenty of slack to move the machine out for the every-ten-years'
cleaning all my clients seem to do.

Now somebody can argue that more feet of tubing means more points of
failure. ;-)

Hmmm,
Drinking hot or ice cold water is BAD for your health.
Ever wondered what how your stomach, guts react when cold water
came down? I never buy a fridge with ice maker. We always drink
room temperature water coming out of under sink multi-stage filter,
RO, UV light.
