Best tubing I've found bar none for anything is the Excelon stuff. I haven't found a better price than from this place even with the shipping.

I bought this and still have a bunch that I never used but the thickness of the tube wall is thinner than the Python tubing. Just as flexible and works but kinks easily.
Pretty sure this is the better option

Yes
I believe the python is 1/2" x 5/8" as well. So you're saying that one you posted, in same size, kinks easier than python?Best tubing I've found bar none for anything is the Excelon stuff. I haven't found a better price than from this place even with the shipping.

Right. The 1/16” wall is definitely thinner than the Python tubing. I’m not going to use the 50’ I bought unless a raccoon chews up my python. Shame since it wasn’t cheap. You can see the difference side by side. The Python tubing is thicker.
Which made me me want to know so I cut an inch off the Python to really get a good measurement off a fresh cut. The below size is what I got with my digital calipers.
