fuel line tank to filter

I'm replacing most of my fuel system (pump, carb, etc) on my Tartan 34C. There is what appears to be a heavily insulated and jacketed steel (likely copper) fuel line from the tank to the primary filter. I reviewed some of the ABYC standards and also the specifications of the rubber fuel hose offered on this site by Don. Can anyone give me a reason not to replace this solid fuel piping with new rubber hose?

Thank you.
