[Harc] X50 vs X510 gain

[Cliff VanCott]

 Yeah, that gain is nice... but the 17 foot height is a bit of a deal-breaker for my home.  I can get away with the 10 foot X300.... anyone have experience/opinion on that antenna (or the Comet equivalent... GP-6)?  (Note: gain for either is 6.5 dBi at 144 and 9 dBi at 430)
Seems like that might be a good compromise.... your thoughts?  Cliff

 Twice the price but twice the gain:

X-50 gain:
Band Coverage    Frequency Coverage Range    Vertical Antenna Gain    Bandwidth at 2:1 SWR
2 meters    144-148 MHz            4.5 dBi    Over 4.0 MHz
70 cm        440-450 MHz            7.2 dBi    Over 10.0 MHz

X-510 gain:
Band Coverage    Frequency Coverage Range    Vertical Antenna Gain
2 meters    144-147 MHz            8.3 dBi
70 cm        430-440 MHz            11.7 dBi
