Two connectors...big deal. You're going to have a pig tail from the Yagi
antenna to the main run of coax anyway. End result: no extra connectors.
Why buy 500 feet of flex when all you need is 15 or 20 feet? If it was the
same price it would make sense, but when it's twice as much?
The company sells any length you want.

Fewer connectors comes to mind. What's the drawback to all flex?
