Default Mogami quad cable question

Is there a reason to use 2893 cable over the 2534? I realize the shielding is greater on the 2534.
Is one preferred over the other?

If that's a joke, I don't get it. Can you answer the question?

The 2893 is more flexible than the 2534 and smells like flour tortillas. So, pick your poison...corn or flour tortillas. And for God's sake...don't forget the salsa!

That would make sense because the 2893 is smaller and has less shielding.

I prefer the smaller as it is more flexible and just... I don't need that thick a cable running into my headphones lol.

Yes, mogami smells very strange in an oddly satisfying way.
