While N connectors do have some design and impedance advantages, some of us that have lived in extremely cold climates... have seen the center pins pull out of N connectors due to thermal contraction of the center conductor over distance. A UHF or DIN connector will usually not do that.

They handle 1500 V instead of 500 V.
