Upgrade coax between DSS Dish and STB?

Has anyone ever upgraded the coax (RG6) between their DSS dish and their HD STB? Did you notice a difference in the quality of your picture?

I need to hang my new 3 LNB dish and was wondering if it would be worth running some new wire. I was thinking Monster Cable ISAT Reference. Thanks!

Does the old coax look bad? Are you getting a good signal? No need to replace it unless there is a problem. The signal is digital and if it is strong enough you are good to go.

I'm not familiar with the ISAT reference but I would imagine it is spendy.

A link to Coax Cable to compare prices/applications.

Prices per foot.

Monster ISAT Ref $1.22
Monster Qual Shield $0.77
Belden Quad Sheild $0.35
Belden Dual Shield $0.23
