Ummm... a Flexradio 6300 retails for $2500 and you're trying to be
cheap on coax connectors? That's 0.1% of the retail price for a
silver plated and PTFE connector.

According to Edmunds, a Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG has an MSRP of over
$200,000.00. Does that mean that everyone who buys one should always
use the most expensive brand-name fuel available?

The quality of a connector or of gasoline is not determied by price, but
by its actual suitability for the use to which it's put.

If your cheap connector behaves well in your application, then the cheap
one is good enough for you.
