Interesting conversation! 

So what I am reading is this. 

Use a 1:1 current balun remote to the tuner to use my 600 ohm feedline. 

Now

Somewhere along the way, depending on the length of the coax between the tuner 
and the balun, wouldn't I be just matching the say 14 foot run of coax from the 
tuner to the balun? And not necessarily matching the antenna? 

Lets take it one more step

Place the 1:1 balun at the feed  point 200 feet away and feed it with coax? 

Dosen't sound like a good idea.
