Cat6 vs Cat6A labor

Does anyone have experience installing CAT6 vs CAT6A communications cable? I'm being told by a contractor that it takes significantly more labor to install the CAT6A, but I'm unable to understand why that would be. Could anyone tell me why it would take longer and possible give a productivity factor?

the stuff is huge, 50% bigger than cat6. only comes on reels afaik so more labor there. also weighs twice as much as 5e or 6. and its more difficult to work with.
