N-connectors have a well known problem with migration of the center 
conductor.

Many, including me, consider a soldered connector superior to crimps. I 
note that you use crimps.

Many consider a UHF connector more robust.

Constant impedance simply doesn't matter below high VHF.

As to weatherproofing, I would never consider ANY connector waterproof, 
and carefully seal all outdoor connectors.

I do use some N-connectors in my station, mostly to terminate some runs 
of 7/8-in and 1/2-in hard line, most of which is used for long runs to 
HF antennas.
