Resonant is resonant, and 50 ohms is 50 ohms, but 50 ohms does not necessarily mean resonant. They are two differant things.Granted a 1.6:1 SWR (30 ohms) is not bad but perhaps it is if running high power or when changing freq very far from the resonant point. Providing a perfect 50 ohm match will allow more "wiggle room" for either case.
