URO replacement hoses - opinions please

Hi,
I have purchased some URO hoses to replace my PS res to PS pump hose and also as replacements for my two coolant hoses. I have 177000 miles on my car with the original hoses. Going to be replacing the PS pump and coolant/coolant reservoir so I wanted to do these as well. Any opinions on these as replacements? The OEM replacement cost for a new PS hose is almost double.
Thank you!

I have URO coolant hoses on my 850. I didn't see any difference between them and the OEM. I did mine over a year ago and they aren't spongy or droopy after almost 40k. I was initially skeptical, but I'll try some things out for shiggles.

In that VS thread, the one hose they're comparing to is a Dayco. I have a Dayco laying around as a spare, and it's a lot thinner than OEM or the URO.
