This is a great question. I think that the initial years these were used, they were kept short for price and hydraulic considerations. So relocating to another tile will be very limited.
I see now, most have shifted to a longer drop as supply and demand has balanced some. So, I think this same question in a few years, would yield different results. Also, let's keep in mind, flex drops are fittings. There fore, you can remove from outlet, and use in another. At least that is my read.

When you go into an existing building that has previously been renovated with flex drops, are you reusing them to swing to a new tile (not removing from the existing outlet)? Are you reusing and removing from an existing outlet?
