I have a 380 foot coax run to the top section of my motorized tower when it is

I am changing out all my old RG213 and thinking of saving a few db by going to
LMR600 up to the top section then
LMR400UF up from there for the rotor loop and up to the 40 meter beam and
triband/warc beam on the mast.
What do you think of LMR600 for this run from the shack up to the top section
for a motorized tower ?
When I lower the tower I am thinking I could coil the LMR600 into maybe 5 foot
diameter coils on the ground.
BTW the tower is 90 feet to the top of the top section when all the way up.
Is this a bad idea ? (I am hoping to avoid the cost of the flex LMR600UF if I
can.)
I have RG-218 on my 106 foot crankup tower. RG-218 is even bigger than
LMR-600. When I lower it, I form the coax into large
(10+ feet diameter) loops. It is suspended from a Kellems grip
on an arm at the top.
Works perfectly.
