Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable

I'm going to purchase some AQ speaker cables, and am considering bi-wired AQ Robin Hood Zero vs full range William Tell Zero (with quality jumpers). The bi-wired RH is about $500 more expensive than the full range WT, but on a comparable basis, WT is the more expensive cable. Any thoughts on sound quality between the options I described above would be greatly appreciated.

I prefer quality cable with jumpers of same cable, I try to avoid internal bi-wire...there is certainly no agreement on this...I believe Nordost now only sells cables with jumper, no internal bi-wire, and Vandersteen recommends dual runs, which I agree with...

in most (actually in all cases in my experience) cases, biwiring doesn't matter

Anyway you could buy both, try each one, keep the one that you feel works best and return the other one. Everyone will have a somewhat different opinion on this. It’s not very clear cut. Sorry.
