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

new coax, so I wanted to get input from those who are familiar with both before
buying either.

Thanks, and 73,

I use Times LMR 400 and have had it up for 20 years without any degradation. I had the opportunity to shorten a piece and test it to it's standards. I am a PhD EE and therefore have access to a whole lab of RF tols. It met it's original specs.
