I ended up ordering some of this. So cheap I ordered 20 and 22 AWG just to what I like more. I haven’t used it yet but I looks really nice.

Better wire is available for less at Apex Jr. like I've been saying this whole time. You just paid $0.70/foot for crap coax that's shipping from China, when you could have paid $0.60/foot for PTFE with silver conductor that will not melt and short out when soldering. But hey... you do you lol.

Really, Why do you say it is crap ? I know a builder who uses it and is happy with it. I think it will be easier to work with than the PTFE. I have never had a problem with coax melting or shorting when soldering. BTW I paid roughly .30/foot. I got 60 feet for $20.00. Figured it was cheap enough to try it out.
Do you think there is a performance/tonal difference between the two wires ? It's tined copper, that is what i have been using.

No, no tonal difference. Just how easy/hard it is to work with and how durable it is.
