Default VSWR doesn't matter? But how about "mismatch loss"?

How are you feeding a balanced line?

If you are using an antenna tuner with unbalanced in (50 ohms) and balanced
out (variable impedance), you should be OK in most situations.

No tuner! I don't like tuner losses. The feedpoint impedance
is always between 35 ohms and 85 ohms resistive. My choke
has an impedance in the thousands of ohms.
