And you can use shark-bites on it (not so much an issue in new construction) which I don't think you can with CPVC?
You can, technically, use shark-bites, but results aren't quite as solid as using PEX. I've read a few stories about shark-bites coming loose in kitchens behind cabinetry but that's probably more due to people clowning around and not using it properly. Supposed to work on copper as well.
