The one big problem with parasitic arrays is that you must have low enough
ground resistance to get the proper current to flow in the element. With a
driven array, you can force the elements to have the proper current 
distribution.

Could you not get more out those elements if you had phased them? Obviously there would be more work required for the phasing system. One element short of a 4 square.
