RG-213 has better shielding. Other than that they are pretty much the same. 
The RG-213 I have is pretty flexible. I'm not using it where I am now, I'm 
using mostly 9913 but had 213 on my 10 meter antenna at my former QTH. No 10 
meter antenna here. G5RV has to do it all and they're horrible on 10 through 
15 meters. It will work but nowhere near like I want.
