close   I use 450 ohm window line and wouldn’t go back to coax for an hf antenna for anything. Going from coax to laser line was the single biggest improvement I have ever seen when you want to use one antenna on multiple bands. it also offers the advantage  of being able to use a random wire tuner an feed both legs  tied together as the random wire against a good ground for bands that you can’t do well in a standard dipole configuration. They cal that a marconi, and it can often be effective if you  want to run 160 meters on an 80 meter dipole.. Ovioulsy it is a compromise, but sometimes a compromise is better than nothing :)
