The cost is about 40% less ($2.30/ft at Tessco) and the loss is only 1.7 dB @28MHz and proportionally less at 20 meters.  In fact on 20 meters, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

As a contester, I've experienced multiple situations when 1-2 dB band the difference between a QSO and a CQ in my face.
