+1 - Regarding easy hose stuff, afaik these are mostly used by big brands to speed up / ease shop assembly and pretty visible (i think these are not part of the usual st-r785 package - at least not in the kits i installed).
But i'm not sure how having these on your bike could be problematic to shorten your brake hoses. Actually, I think it would even ease the operation, by allowing you to cut the hose at the joint in addition to brake side / lever side. Just make sure to measure twice before cutting, and to have a few spare olives + a bleed kit "just in case".

You mean they won't need shortening? A part of me cannot help but thinking "what if they do"
I looked up the subject of the easy hose joint system and it seems that it has very visible, well, joints on the hoses between levers and brakes and mine don't show these, so I should be fine, I guess.
