Same thing applies to a well built 4 sq vs. a 2 el beam.
I can't tell you much about one el vs two el, but I can tell you about two
el vs 4 square. Back around 2000 I played horse races several times on 80
with W4AN in GA who was using a nice 4 square. I was using a 2 el quad loop
array spaced about 40 feet suspended on a caternary system at an average
height
of about 130 feet. At no time did the 4 square beat the 2 el loop in to EU
and usually was down at least one S-Unit, sometimes as much as 2 S-units.
I had to make a decision when I moved to KH6 as to whether use a loop system
or a 4 square on 80. I chose the loops which I could only put up at an
average height of 100 feet or less. I'm glad I did.
YMMV!
