they are right... that two piece thing has a union in the middle.  your
feed and return lines are priced well, comparable to coupe/4kq.

those other two you might be able to fabricate for less, if you are
careful.  seems like there is some money there to save and they look
fairly simple (esp. compared to the front to back lines, which you
should buy - a zillion litle bends to make them run right)

all you need are the right fittings and double flare tool (I think!)
