There is a limit to the quality of audio and video you can send down
coax.
With KAT5, you can send 5.1 audio and RGB scart signals (I think you'll
need
two units for that though).  It's all about the quality you expect,
and the
number of different types of cables you want to run to every corner of
every
room.  If you have the option, I'd recommend KAT5.
