Default Coax question - are the "generic" versions of LMR-400 and LMR-400 Ultraflex as good as the "name brand" or is it not worth the savings?

Like the subject asks, are the "generic" versions of LMR-400 and LMR-400
Ultraflex as good as the "name brand" or is it not worth the savings? Time
for
new coax, so I wanted to get input from those who are familiar with both
before
buying either.

Thanks, and 73,

Depends on what brands you are talking about being the 'generic' version. I
am using some of the Davis Buryflex that is similar to lmr400 ultra flex. I
like it very much and have ran the loss tests on it on 2 meters and 440 mhz
and it meets the specs. I have 4 runs of it to the beams on my tower
covering a tribander, 6, 2, and 440. They have been up about 5 years with
no noticable problems.
