Good morning,

Does anyone have experience with Andrew FXL 780 Extremeflex?

I have two main questions about it:

1.  Does the "Extremeflex" imply that it is rotor friendly?
2.  Is there any issue with it having an aluminium jacket?

It is about 10% cheaper than LMR-600UF and has less than half the loss.  N Connectors are $30 compared to $20 so on  a 100ft run it is about a wash.  I have not found a UHF connector for it which is available for the LMR (but expensive, $65). 

Thanks in advance for any insight.  I am working on getting 6m EME capable so every .1dB counts but I do not want to give myself an headache in the process.
