I have no affiliation with this company, but I was very surprised by their prices, and very happy with their coax: http://www.jefatech.com/product/ll400
Even if you do go with the 'real' LMR400, I think you'll have better luck than with RG8U.

I need to rework my 70cm antenna system and was thinking about going with LMR 400. I have about a 40 foot run. Is there any real advantage to using the ultra flex for the entire run or can I get by with a short section of the UF between the preamp and antenna to accomodate the rotor turning? How about just using a short section of RG8U there instead of the LMR400UF? I'm trying to do this on a budget.
