Default Cobwebb antenna question?

I'm in the process of building a homebrew Cobwebb Ariel.

I have found two different sizes for the twin cable elements, figure 8 42
strand 0.2mm, but on the Cobwebb web site it says figure 8 84 strand.

Also in the Cobwebb revealed PDF doc that I downloaded on page 5 it says
each core is 42 strands of 0.2mm diameter and on page 7 of the same doc it
says figure 8 84 strand. So I'm a little confused.

Does anyone know what is the correct cable to use, 42 strand 0.2mm or 84
strand 0.2mm?

Many thanks
