I've run a 4 foot Metz antenna next to a Digital 8 foot antenna with the Metz on a 4 foot extension so the total heights were the same. I didn't notice a perceptible difference on the receive side, but could notice the difference while transmitting. Transmitting was always better on the 6dB gain antenna.
