Hi Guys - another one for the pile of questions

I was looking through the DXE catalog the other night and noticed that 8 
conductor rotor cable is .89 cents a foot, and 4 conductor is .29 cents 
a foot.  ASSUMING (and yes, I know the rules about assuming) Since I 
haven't looked it up online YET, that the wire gauge is the same in both 
types of cable, is there any hurt, harm or danger in using 2 runs of the 
4 conductor (total of about 60 dollars) vs 1 run of the 8 conductor 
(about 90 dollars)?

I should note that I am currently using 2 runs of cable for the rotor 
and it works great -- I want to do this "right" but I also want to be 
sensible with my budget

Thanks
