Are these observations true?

<font color='#000000'>I've noticed that with common manufacturers the guage of coax used is similar to an RG59 cable. It is about a 20-22 guage conductor and can be in a stranded form or a solid conductor. Both Monster and Acoustic Research are companies that seem to be using this guage wire for component video and digital audio cables. Both these companies appear to make decent video cable. It is my assumption that as long as the cable is no more than 20 awg then fexiblity will not be a problem even with a solid core conductor. RG6 cables on the other hand, tend to be a little thicker. This cable is the kind used with cable tv. While it may make great component video cable, it also tends to be rather stiff. &nbsp;Is an RG6 type coax a bit of over kill in typical video applications?</font>
