Swapped cable housing for compressionless, worth the hassle?

After 3 months of fighting brake drag on my old mountain bike, I swapped the standard housing for compressionless on the rear brake line. Took about 2 hours and I snapped one ferrule, but the stopping power feels way more direct now. I picked compressionless over going full hydraulic because I didn't want to bleed lines in my kitchen. Honestly, the difference is noticeable on long descents, less spongy at the lever. Anyone else made this swap and found the cost per meter worth it, or did you just bite the bullet and go hydraulic?
