My QTH has lousy ground, so the only band where verticals are better is
160M, and that's because the highest I could put the dipole is 135 ft (a
quarter wave, which is LOW for a dipole).

My ground is high conductivity (Sacramento River Delta). On 80
meters, a ground mounted vertical works as well as a dipole at 130 feet
high based on actual measurement on the air. Your QTH may vary.
