I have not tried the Sufix Performance Fused line, but I have (for a brief time) used Trilene Fireline. I really didn't care for it, and would rather use regular braided line. Maybe if I had given all season, it would have gotten limper, but it just seemed too stiff for me.

Once again...are we talking Fireline or Fireline Braid?
Fireline sucks but I consider Fireline Braid God's gift to fishermen. Performance Fuse is a braid, so I would think it more reasonable to compare it to Fireline Braid than regular Fireline.

People, and now it seems line companies, common misuse the term "braided" line. People use it as a name for all superlines, both braided and fused, when fused are not the same. BB

Isn't Fireline the fused line that is not round? I've heard it is good for cutting through grass and such but I've never tried it.

Anthony....Performance Fuse is a braided line.....the website even confirms this...it is braided together, then thermally fused....

The Suffix web-site talks about Braid and Weave, so I guess it is a braided line. The colour choices Neon Fire and Smoke Blue leave me cold. I have used Fireline fused and like it okay. I prefer a braid, but would take Fireline in a heart beat if that was all there was. As it fades, Fireline Fused gets a little fuzzy looking but it doesn't seem to lose any strength. I have used it on both casting and spinning reels with good success.

Fireline is probably made the same way. I know for sure that the original Fireline is also made from Dyneema fibers. It is still not braid, it is a fused line, and is completely different than braid.
True, they may be braided, but they are not what we commonly refer to as "braid." And I think calling them braided lines leads people that don't know the difference to believe that fused lines (while the materials are braided) are the same as braided lines. Fused lines and braid are both superlines due to their low stretch, and their strength compared to diameter. But fused lines, which probably are braided before being fused are much different than braided lines. I've found them to be not as manageable, and while they probably are a bit smoother than most braids, I'd still prefer a good braided line like Sufix Performance braid to a fused line like the original fireline.
