I agree that the impedance bump can be significant above 50 MHz. Below
that, it is simply not an issue. The relevant issues are mechanical --
ruggedness, ease of termination, physical size. I find most N connectors
quite difficult to terminate well, and with many there is the matter of
conductor creep. I very much like the Andros male N connectors, which
solve all of these issues. I discovered a few of them in SK N6RZ's junk
box, and bought more.
