Perry You are going through the same thought process I did a few years ago. At the time I decided not to go that route for the issues you mentioned plus I didn’t want the weight. I had an opportunity to get welding cable and used that for wiring a 1500w windless. It’s braided but not tinned. I tinned the ends before installing the lugs. Wire is over 1/2” not including insulation. Harbour freight or Princess auto would be a good source for the cable.
