[TowerTalk] looking for good coax for 6m

Hi all,
I am looking for good quality coax to use on 6m, in two different places:
- home station, 6 element yagi, used for regular dxing... I need about 50'
to run from the wall up to the tower. Then I have another 50' of Belden
9913F running from the wall to the radio.
- portable 8 element yagi used in dxpedition for EME. I need about 50-75'
of it.

For the home station - Will I be ok if I use another run of 9913F or I
better get larger cable with less attenuation? Do I need to replace
existing run of 9913F? I will hate to do it - it is in the walls and in the
ceiling space...

So far, it seems, the only option is LMR600....
Is there any alternative to it? I don't care about the weight of it at
home, but 75' of coax in the luggage will take whole suitcase by size and
weight :)

Any online sources with user-friendly prices?

Thanks,
Alex K2BB
soon - 5H3EME
