The plastic, common one.  The rubber tubes would be far too sloppy for
useage with the flex system.

Neither.  The pneumatic tubing is slightly thicker than the one off
8002/8503, and has thicker walls, too.

To make things even more complicated, there are two different kinds of
pneumatic tubing.  There was a new style tube introduced 1998 which is
even thicker and more rigid than the old one.  I suppose the
"pneumatic power pack" has the new style, but I don't know, as I don't
have it myself.

So if you had the 8459 and the 8462, you would notice that the latter
has more rigid pneumatic tubing.  I would prefer to have the former,
though because of it's great design.
