I do realize that some people have a different approach to the hobby than I do---I'm pretty casual about it. I want stuff to work like it is supposed to, but I don't sweat a little compromise here and there that more "serious" hams wouldn't countenance. I'm also Scottish, so that means cheap. (Copper wire was invented by two scotsmen fighting over a penny.)

So there is every reason to use N over instead of UHF connectors if every last little DB is important to you. Weak signal work? By all means go with N. Take pride in engineering your station to the highest practical standards? Definitely go with N. Any bands higher than 70cm? Definitely go with type N.
