Can't see any reason not to go with the cheapie. The pig still has to
be built to acceptable standards to be used for power distribution.
You are unlikely to stress it too much anyway with the short duty
cycle work we do with coiling. Worst case scenario is it may be
slightly less efficient, but probably not as it probably has extra
aluminium in the windings to compensate for its higher resistance.
