I am suspicious that the PVC would only be 250 less than copper,

I suspect that you are being overcharged for PVC go to home depot and look at the cost of PVC it cost so much less than copper and is so much easier to install it the bid should be far less than the copper bid

I only do copper copper has some sort of microbial quality as well as it being long lasting

PVC is gross when we remove it it is full of slime,fresh water lines coated with slime ick

when we buy a place we always replace the PVC with copper but we do it ourselves I would never consider PVC unless I was going to sell a place right away and just needed working plumbing in a quick cheap hurry
