Are SS braided brake lines worth it?

Are SS braided brake lines worth it?
I'm in the process of redoing a lot of my brake system (calipers, rotors, pads). I'm replacing the calipers, not because of wear and tear, but because I'm removing the calipers I ground down for Pro Stars. Since I have to bleed the system for this, I'm thinking now is the time to get stainless steel braided lines. I wouldn't necessarily be doing this for improved brake feel, but just to replace the factory lines which are almost 13 years old now.
So my question is two parts:
1. Do the factory lines really get worn, i.e. need to be replaced after a certain amount of time?
2. Are SS braided lines worth it in this case?

I didn't really notice a different when I went to SS brake lines but I didn't expect to either. I was already doing a complete brake job, had some money to spend, and said "why not". Sometimes I buy stuff to keep me busy.
