Finally, probably one of the nicest things, in the event of pump failure, or forgetting to turn your pump on the vinyl will droop and melt at VERY low temps (probably around 80C or so) where as I first hand have seen silicone get to the temp of molten solder and not even discolor.
uhhh... if the pump fails how is the hot water gonna move from the block to the tube?

by the time your tubing would hit 80C durring a pump failure your core is gonna be MUCH hotter than that, and melting tubing will be the least of your worries.
