Worth it to add copper to pex fittings?
With a number of reno's coming including two bathrooms, I'm debating how to approach all my future plumbing projects. Whole home is currently plumbed with copper. No issues. But I like the idea of cutting out the copper as it feeds into whatever item (shower, vanity etc) and working with PEX. It seems like it would be easier to work with, be a little more forgiving, and cheaper all things considered (basic supplies and fittings aside, spend 50-70 CAD on some crimpers and cutters and you're set). Before I go stocking myself with tools and equipment for multiple projects (bulk pricing) would love to hear opinions for or against this line of thinking.
