John,
I think you and Jim Thompson are talking about two different things.
He's talking about the center conductor, you're talking about the shield.
FWIW, I find LDF4 very reasonable to handle. I don't use much of it,
because I've managed to scrounge enough 7/8-in stuff (Andrew and
Cellwave) for my runs that need it. The "hard line" I find quite
delicate are the varieties designed for use in CATV systems. I've got
some and I'm using it on two monobanders, but it requires VERY careful
handling. What I have is 1/2-in, 75 ohms, Cu-coated Al center, Al
shield, so it's very easy to kink.
73, Jim K9YC

The outer shield of LDF4 is essentially copper tubing.
