How is filling a failing piece of pipe w/ some crap and hoping it
doesn't develop a leak at the equivalent cost "better" or even "minimum"
cost? Simple answer is -- it isn't either.

I'll again note the length of the warranty on the epoxy coating is less
than half the age of the system you have now--that tell you anything?

Third-party evaluations I found indicated replacement cost _including_
the interior repair were equivalent to the lining process cost as well.

Still seems a no-brainer to me...imo you're asking for the magic bullet
and equivalent of the free lunch and there just ain't no such thing...
