I understand the NEC. I have no idea if Jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx knows what he
is talking about when he says "Code requires conduit in concrete". My
point is that MI cable is quite small and can be put into masonry
without having to remove as much material as required by other products.

The relevant part of the NEC is:

330-3 Uses Permitted. Type MI cable shall be permitted as follows:

(6) Embedded in plaster, concrete, fill or other masonry, whether above
or below grade.

Look it up. It is cool stuff.

When I suggested that you might have better things to do with your time
a sudden interest in wiring methods did not spring to mind...
