Because of the substantially shorter length of copper piping needed, that installation wound up costing less than even just the materials would have been to re-install it on the side of the house and encase it in conduit.Now hopefully they don't steal it off of the roof!

Maybe, just maybe a 10-20% overall savings.That stated the only real advantage to going MOD is turnaround time, job site congestion (tradesmen tripping over each other and/or slowing each other down), length of time in  causing local congestion issues for local traffic, weather issues, material and equipment vandalism and theft issues.
