Better fit, better construction, more rugged, higher ratings to higher 
frequencies, and just generally better all the way around.  I under 
stand the cell and cable companies are standardizing on them (for other 
than the 75 ohm hard line) so with the large market the price *should* 
be coming down and the availability going up.  They kinds look like an N 
connector on steroids, but they really are much better.  As Hector said, 
they are the ones the big boys are using.
