HDMI Audioquest vs Bluejean

I am setting up a HT space and am looking at these two companies . I have used analog Bluejean cables and find them to be a good product . A certain HT installer uses Audioquest exclusively and recommends the Forest .

I've been through the archives here and most everything has a few years on it ! I was kind of thinking that maybe there has been some new thinking and/or technology , especially with the advent of 4K technology .

I will need two HDMI cables ran in the walls and attic for about 25' to 30'. Does it make sense to spend about twice as much for the Audioquest Forest as opposed to the Bluejean Series 1 bonded pair ?
Does anyone have experience with these two companies' HDMI offerings ?

Thank You

We use the PS Audio silver HDMI cables in our Meridian 800, 861v6 and HD621 set up.
We ran a 40' HDMI cable to our JVC projector. I felt it too expensive to use a high end cable, so I tried Monoprice RedMere active high speed HDMI cables. The 40' cable was ~ $60. Try it - it's great, especially for the price!

Monoprice's Redmere HDMI cables are warranted for life.

I've installed cables for ocean front property customers that have been in use for 2 seasons now. Significant storm activity occurs there - their systems are surge protected.

Unless you system takes a near direct hit, electrical energy isn't getting into your HDMI cable - and if it does, the HDMI cable will be the least of your concerns.
