Rear brake hose help

Can anyone recommend the best replacement rear brake hose? Take a look at the photos below. This is the replacement I ordered for my 72 Blazer. On the input side, the inner opening is bigger on the original than the replacement. And on the "T" side, the inner opening is smaller on the original compared to the replacement. The threads/fitting size is correct, but I'm wondering with the difference in opening sizes if everything will seal correctly. I've picked up two brands, and both have Sunsong stamped on the hose. Thanks!

Pretty sure I've used that same sunsong hose and it worked fine. Can't comment on the different size holes. I don't think it will make a difference though, as long as the nuts seal.

Difference in manufacturing techniques, a double flair will seal up just fine and your brakes will function as they should.
