[Closed] Shimano brake hoses - any reason I can't order a rear for my front?

Having a mini crisis at my shopping basket, need to change my front hose out as new fork means current is slightly too short.
But what if the current one is a standard length and the new Shimano hose (1000mm) comes up short?!
Surely, at the same price(?!) the longer 1700m rear hose is best for me, leaving me free to cut to perfect length?

My mind is playing tricks on me, theres nothing front/rear specific about these things other than hose length. Right?

Nope ... just cut to length and do the banjo, olive and barb as usual...

Why not measure the existing one and see if you need longer than 1000mm?
