OP, when I ordered my HCF + CBE setup I started having your same doubts. Should I need to go with ART pipes or stay with HFC. I spent a month looking at videos, posts and specs and decided to stay with HFC for the following reasons:
- it's my DD and I prefer HFC over TP (mostly afraid of the smell)
- I wanted to go with the same manufacturer to couple HFC+CBE (as someone mentioned already)
Hope this helps making up you your mind.
