Just a little more expensive.  Broadcast supply houses typically sub- 
contract cable orders to a made-to-order cable house, so there's no  
time penalty associated with specifying brand and model for both  
connectors and cable; custom cables typically ship within a week of the  
order.  A decent cable house should be able to supply star-quad cable,  
and the price should be perhaps ten or twenty percent more per foot  
than cable with only a single twisted pair.  Either way, the connectors  
(XLR or phone plug) are the same.
