How important is a fully lined masonry chimney compared to a partially lined? What difference will it make? Is it more about draw from the chimney or are we talking major differences in efficiency?

I was planning on doing a direct connect (partial liner)
but after some advice from the guys here i am doing a full liner.
I found a FlexKing .007 liner on ebay for $400.00
The thing that sold me on the full liner is not wanting to pull the stove once a year
to clean and sweep the chimney and liner. With the full liner, there is no pulling out
the stove. This way a guy is more likely to do his own chimney sweeping.
Here is a link to check out.

I did the fully lined because my flue tiles were cracked. I love the idea of the pipe within the flue. Seems to draft well, and it just gives me a better assurance that no smoke/ CO2 etc is exiting the flue into the house (chimney is along outside of the house along the kids' bedrooms). Still hace CO2 detetectors, but again, I just sleep better at night.
I'd bet a cord of wood you wont find anyone here recommending you dont go with a full liner. If you do the full liner you will soon forget about how much extra you paid. Dont do it, and you will be reminded of how much you saved everytime you have to pull the insert out to clean the chimney.
