Any advantage to having a B&W balun on a yagi vs "6 coils of feedline?"

coiled feedline chokes are not as consistent over a wide frequency range as
ferrite chokes. i don't know what is in the b&w balun, do you??


Reason I'm asking is that the B&W 5K I happen to have specifies "SWR less
than 3:1". I know over almost any and every one of the five bands my new
beam covers (10, 12, 15, 17 & 20M), it'll be higher than that at many
points.

i would expect a pro 57b to be well less than 3:1 across those bands..
