I have not gotten in so far but have enjoyed the comments.  What about the
Opti-Beam products.  I have the OB-17-4 and it seems very well built.  They
make a tri-bander that is very good product I believe.  

The JP2000 looks a lot like the OptiBeams?

Just for some ideas, the OB17-4 has:

* Aluminum tubing for feedline (lots of beams have copper wire)
* The boom is square 3" x 3" - very solid construction
* full size elements for 10, 15 and 20 meters

Look into the Opti-beams and I think you will find them very well built.
Pricey for sure but seems to be a quality product.
