So then what are the issues with distance from the shack?
Say 300 feet away?
Perhaps this is where hard-line becomes earns its keep?

Yes. And bigger conductors in the control cables for rotators (and for a SteppIR, if you plan on one). The run from my shack to the top of my tower is 350 ft of 7/8-in hard line, which I scrounged on the second hand market.
