Is Goertz still the choice for Magnepan?

I was inspired by the thread "Goertz still the choice with Vandersteen" and decided to start this one. In the past, it seemed that Goertz speaker cables were pretty popular with Maggies. Is that still the case? Has anyone gone from Goertz to something else with their Maggies and not regret it? What other moderately priced cables should today's Magnepan owners consider?

I did not realize that Goertz was such a good match with Maggies, but I'm
always open to learn more.
I had a great experience with JPS Labs speaker cables, spicifically the Super
Conductor3.
What type of dollar figure are you talking about when you say moderately
priced?
Just curious what interconnects and speaker cables do you currently use?

My idea of moderately priced would be something along the lines of Goertz MI2 or 3, Kimber 8TC, or the JPS Labs you mentioned (about $500-$600 for an 8' pair). Right now I'm using cross-connected Belden 89259 cables, but at only 13 awg, I wonder if they're too small. My ICs are all custom made (twisted pairs of copper with foamed Teflon insulation) with the exception of the IC between the preamp and the amp, which is a ~25' run of MIT T2.

I have some Goertz Pythons in a 10 ft. length that I'm looking to sell. Ping me off list if interested...
