Question about Aeroquip A/C Hoses

Aeroquip sells A/C specific hoses for custom routing of A/C lines.

Here's an example: -6 AN 6ft hose for $67.95

They also sell TFE Racing hose that sells for almost 50% less than the A/C branded hoses: -6 AN 6ft hose for $35.95

The TFE line can be used with Nitrous so that tells me it will hold a pressurized gas. It also has a much higher pressure rating than the A/C specific hose. The biggest difference besides price is the material. The A/C hose is made from nylon while the TFE hose is Teflon.

Is there a reason why I should pay 50% more for A/C branded hose when it appears the TFE hose will do the same job???
