I use it all the time but only in certain situations. First question is what is the 125-150ft for? Is it collecting gutters, draining paving areas, draining a low spot, etc.?

Area house is on is built up about 2ft above lower yard. The point where the upper yard drains into the lower yard stays saturated much longer than one would hope. Metal roof with no gutters so that water is being distributed all along the entire run. It's probably more of a grading issues, but we're talking about 2.5 acres in all, so french drain the cheaper options vs grading it all out correctly.
