Sometimes the top antenna is loudest just on the edge of the band
opening/closing, or when conditions are marginal.

I ran a 6 high stack of 6 el KLMs for years on ten meters.
...165/132/105/80/54/27. I had them arranged in three groups of two for
phasing. When the
band was open, the top two were useless. But, when conditions were marginal
the
all six in phase really kicked butt over just the bottom four...especially
to deep EU and JA. That was over the totally flat ground of FL. Those
sitting on hilly terrain, might find that setup too high.
