I prefer it to Heliax, but you do have to take some time to comb out the braid where it goes over the collar that pinches it into the connector. And it will not kink like Heliax.

LMR-1200 has very similar specs and is actually much tougher than Heliax. The issue is installing the connectors. Unlike the smaller braided cables, 1200 takes patience and time to make sure that you get the strands correct. If you don't get everything just right the connector will shift back and forth on the coax. You will still have a shield ground typically but it just isn't good to have movement like that. They may have easier connectors to use now as I haven't used them in a long time.
