Topband: Ground return wire under a Beverage

[Artek Manuals <Manuals@ArtekManuals.com>]

I have been experimenting a lot with BOGs in the last couple of months. 
And now thanks to a very amiable neighbor will be moving into building 
some more traditional elevated Beverages in the 450 to 500 foot range
My bogs and the beverages are /will be constructed using RG6 as the 
antenna itself and will be reversible. In reading Misek/ W1WCR Beverage 
Antenna Handbook. He often uses a ground return wire tying the ground 
rods together at each end ( except for  BOGs) with an insulated wire on 
top of the ground. Reading ON4UN Low Band DX ing I did not see any 
Beverages with the ground return wire ! ?!
So here is the question has any one done it both ways and what is the 
net affect (if any) with and without the ground return wire under the 
same Beverage.
