I've used the less expensive flat 300 ohm TV twinlead at the legal limit 
(unknown velocity factor, unknown quality, etc) and it worked very well 
.... and never melted any of it!
But .... if you're willing to pay for the "bigger & better" feedline, I 
am very sure that although it will work much the same, it will look 
incredibly better!   And WorldRadio will publish the pictures to prove it.
