So now that we know UHF connectors impedance means beans until 500 MHz ...  
Which is more reliable In the long term N or UHF?  What about installation 
ease? 

After soldering a 1000 UHFs in my lifetime and then recently switched 
everything in my station to N.  I'd take N any day over soldering a UHF in five 
places.
