The MC still worked fine, I was switching from single pot to a safer dual-reservoir MC.

The problems I had with silicone fluid had to do with the moisture pooling and rotting out lines. On a frequently used/maintained car this shouldn't be an issue and I only ran into it once when I bought a car that had been sitting for years. Right now I am wrestling with myself over a very very inexpensive MC I found at a car parts on-line. like under $18.00 and new. But I think I'll just do the cheaper one shown at this site seeing as it's brakes I doing.
