welding cable normally doesnt have as many strands as wire such as knu wire's 5000 something strands. i read somewhere that voltage travels on the inside of the wire while amperage travels on the outside of the wire. with audio wire amperage is more important because you only have 12-18 volts to work with so the more strands help transfer more amperage. i doubt theres significant difference.

also in the link you posted the orange ultraflex cable says it has 4 times as many strands as the standard cable which has 1026 so it should have 4104 strands which is pretty good.

I am looking now to see if I have any pictures of the wire from that site. I would recommend ordering a 1' sample of each wire you are considering to check and see what the actual size is. I think I went with the red 2/0 that turned out to be the same size as the knu 1/0
