Next time I'm in my local FLAPS I'll have to look at their brake line 
assortment to see if they include both single and double flares. I 
have the impression that the double flare is supposed to be stronger, 
but I really don't see how that could be. It's possible that the 
double layer there lends some resilience that makes the joint more 
likely to stay sealed during temperature changes, but that seems like 
a stretch.

There seems to be some evidence that the bubble flare is becoming 
dominant in brake systems. Is this true, or am I just imagining it?
