Default How much power for coax?

Does anyone have experience with how much power can be run through rg-58
versus rg-8. I am purchasing an Ameritron al-80B and will be running about
1K out. Can I still get away with RG-58? I will be using 160 thru 40 meters.
I have a 200 foot run of RG-8 running to my antenna site, but I hate to feed
the dipole with something so heavy as RG-8.

thanks in advance for any help
