Even more so if you have a solid state amp,  many trip off at 1:5 or 2:1
SWR.

The boom length has more to do with gain than element count.

I'm guessing if you had OWA's you would be sold on them.

Especially if:

1) Your amp(s) are not solid state broadband types.
2) You have stacked monobanders.

The flat SWR curves give you easy to achieve no-amp-retune wide 
frequency moves and stack combos. You go - yep, this is the way it was 
meant to be.
