I don't know if I interpret that, correctly, or not ... however, I think
a 5/8 is a FINE performer ... I only complain when having to add the
extra length to a 15m - 20m and longer! Indeed, a 1/2 becomes
impossible, and quickly--but then, you already know that ...

At 6m and below (talking meter length), no problem!
