Open-Line is much cheaper and low loss.
A couple of good baluns and job done.
It is just one more option.

Asunto: Re: [TowerTalk] Feedline - Question - Idea
The question was actually not about feedline. However - what feedline is
part of the dialog I think. And whats the cost of feedline vs the more
complicated triplexer/pentplexer solution.
500ft is a long run. Especially if that's the base of the tower. Here I
have a run to my second tower that is 435 ft. I run LDF5-50A all the way to
the base of the tower.
Its often about - how many $$ vs activating X number of antennas at Y amount
of loss that is acceptable.
I would make sure that all options are looked at from a budget standpoint.
