Not so much. I think wood will be cheaper and easier in this case. If nothing else because of my own skill, or lack thereof. 
I don’t have a severe problem.

man, i think cables would be so easy! you can do it simply yourself, whereas wood is heavy and may require more than one person.
all you need are two eyebolts, two (or four) U cable clamps, a cable and a comealong… or ditch the comealong in favor of one turnbuckle per “joist”
