Needing to fit some new cables to a 7 year old 105 setup

Before I buy them, is there any benefit going for the more expensive ones or is the standard Shimano road kit perfectly good?
I didn't realise how bad they were until I got a new bike

I've not seen anything better than std shimano, and plenty that's worse.

"stainless" is relative too...

EDIT and gear inners run more smoothly 😉

cheers

Yeah - I've always run the standard SP41 gear cables on my MTBs and it's faultless
Think I'll just go for the £10 option
