One thing that HFTA does NOT do well is answer the question about stacking
from a "max gain" perspective.  EZNEC will tell you the best design for
stacking yagis for max gain in a direction however HFTA will tell you what
the right height for those yagis are or if the stack is even the strongest
signal under typical approach angles.

Right. HFTA models the performance of individual dipoles used alone, not in combination. When you select a Yagi, it simply adds gain.
