I am not a mechanical engineer but I am guessing that if he uses Phillystran and allows for perhaps 10' of sag there is not a lot of tension on the cable. Rope may be worse if it gets wet and heavier.

Rather than be tempted to use high enough tension where turnbuckles are needed, let it sag a little, give up a few feet of height - your tower guy systems will appreciate it.
