Is the move to sloping ground worth the extra work and
coax loss??

You've had a lot of good advice. I'll simply add that the loss in coax is pretty low at 1.8 MHz. For your 620 ft run of LMR400, slightly less than 1 dB. I would expect the advantage of the hilltop location to be significantly more than that.
