You're right, of course, David.  BUT -- 14-3 is pretty cheap, simply 
because it's sold in quantity, and is sufficiently robust to hold up 
better than smaller stuff that is readily available to consumers.  If I 
had access to the range of cables that a sound contractor would, I'd 
probably do something different. :)
