I use a MLB to feed a 300 meter longwire. Good results, and keeps the
longwire's expected directivity.
Then again, the MLB is no better than any ordinary broadband
transformer. I use one a lot cheaper to feed my 600 meter long
beverage.

For more info regarding the MLB versus other transformers you may have
a look at the antenna section on the Nordic Shortwave Center
