I made the decision to go with the XM240. I have the same combo, XM240
over a 4 element SteppIR. So far the XM240 has been a good antenna, but
it has only been up for a short time. It is working well. If you
should decide on the XM240, you may want to read this:

The problems I found were minor and eaasily corrected on the ground.
Luckily I found them before I put the antenna up.
