I have used the 1/2 " hardline type with disk type dielecrtric for several years. A 1/4 wave of brass hobby tubing driven over the copper center conductor and soldered at both ends solves the 50/75 transition problem.

Hi Art, KC6UQH
If the diameter of your 1/4 electrical wave long of brass hobby tubing driven over the copper center conductor changes the impedance of this cable section from 75 ohm to SQR( 50 * 75) = 61 ohm it is a good idea.
