I don't think I have a problem with the two wire switchable arrangement.  The only trouble with them that I can see is the complexity.  Your mileage may vary depending on your conditions.  If you build them correctly, they will play.

As far as placement, I used the only spot on the property that it will fit.  Even 290' bevs don't work well due to buildings, antennas, roads, etc.
