brake line on 2005 r53 70k miles

Noticed this ding in the front passenger side brake lines while installing new shocks. Not sure it was already there or it happened while installing the new shocks. No Leaks though. Consider it a good reason to upgrade to stainless steel brake lines?
How often should brake lines replaced on R53s?
Anybody want to share their experience with brake line upgrade? Thanks!

Looks like something rubbed or cut on it. I've got several used ones if you want a cheap one. Or we have our WMW stainless lines in stock that work great. http://www.waymotorworks.com/stainle...s-r50-r53.html
