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.

No, there isn't any real difference between 2 feet and 3 feet for optical cable.  The disadvantages for short cable length come into play when we are dealing with digital COAX or USB/HDMI type cables, where the minimum length should always be 5-6 feet.

Thanks everyone,

I just bought a 36" Lifatec and am looking forward to it with my LS50 Wireless speakers in my new setup.

I appreciate all the excellent replies.
