I believe the code for SOOW is for when it is underfoot, laying on the deck or the ground.Of course with a small company if you don't know where your cables are going to be from show to show it makes sense to go with the more rigorous standard.On the other hand if you are doing a temporary setup pulling power from wall sockets I am not sure if any of that section for distributed power for temporary staging really applies.And of course my interpretation means nothing if it disagrees with an inspector.
