This is true. I will be ordering stainless steel reinforced teflon hoses. They don't expand under pressure thus providing firmer positive feel on braking.
To answer some questions, these are all that I used for the M5 retrofit:
Attachment 27116Attachment 27117
Attachment 27118 Attachment 27119
2 Front Rotors
2 Calipers with Brake Pads
PM quad_m for availability/pricing if interested
