A few days ago, someone commented on the cost of a side mount 
vs. TIC Ring. Yes, the side mount is cheaper, but don't forget to 
add the cost of the rotor. When you do, it's probably about the 
same.
I have 2 TIC Rings on my tower. While there have been a few minor 
problems along the way (eg, bad direction indicating pot), one Ring 
has been up 8 years and the other for 2 years, and their both 
working well. If there were room for another antenna, I'd use another 
TIC Ring.
