I'm considering adding a TriBand Vertical to my antenna farm.  I want to cover 
2m, 223mhz, & 446 MHz.  My choices appear to be limited to the Comet CX-333 
and the Diamond X3200A.  The price of these two antennas is within $20 of each 
other.  Gain & Power handling figures appear similar.  I currently have a dual 
band 2m, 446 Diamond X200 and a 1/4 wave ground plane for 223 MHz.  These two 
antennas will be retired and replaced with a Tri-Bander.

Which one should I choose and why?

I may choose the Diamond as I have had good results with my Diamond X200.
