IMO, strain-relief is the Main Attraction for rolling your own
*connector-less* center insulator. Especially for the scenario where the
feedpoint is suspended half way between the end supports.
If the feedpoint is located on a middle support, the commercial
connectorized insulators are fine.

What are you experts using for strain relief on the coax? I can’t see
the PL-259 taking all the tension of a very long length of RG-8 (plus
a nice fat K9YC choke). I always think of Kellem grips in situations
like this but I’ve never seen them mentioned in ham applications.
