Optical digital cables?

I'm moving my KEF LS50 Wireless into another room and will have a turntable connected via analog so I'm going to need an optical cable for my Node 2. The two I'm looking at are:
-BlueJeans w/Mitsubishi ESKA fiber
-Lifatek Toslink

I need about 20"-24". I've had very good success with BJ cables before but is the Lifatec worth the $60ish premium for my application?

Thanks for any input.

I think either would work. If you read about the blue jeans cable on their site it' s built for durability and can be used in long runs up to 50 feet. If you get glass get it long enough to avoid any sharp bends.

I've had good luck with the AudioQuest optical cables but to be honest I don't do a lot of comparison of digital cables. 

Best,

The Lifatec had excellent SQ in my system from both my Mac and transport to DAC.
Never tried the BJ.

Agree with djones51 - - and be careful, no sharp bends.
