Electrically, a half wave vertical dipole is not a lot different than a
quarter wave vertical fed against radials or a counterpoise, but it
requires a LOT more height to put it up. I just modeled two different
antennas in EZNEC+ as a comparison (both over medium ground):
A lot of these antennas are an electrically short dipole. so they don't
require the height. From a gain standpoint, an infinitesimally small
dipole is 1.5 dBi and a full size dipole is 2.5 dBi (mostly from the
broader lobe for the short antenna).
What might be interesting is modeling, say, a 25 foot dipole with the
center 13-14 feet off the ground.
