LDF5 10/15/20; LDF4 40/80; 160m Buryflex for me. < 1db loss amp to feedpoint was the goal.

Assuming we're talking about Topband or 80M, given the very low loss on these bands, LDF5 seems to be a waste of money. The only reason I can see to justify the cost would be the improved shielding over a good RG8/11. What am I missing? I don't have room for a 4-square, so for me, it's academic. :)
