Topband: Length of Hi-Z vertical wire

I just received the shipment of fiberglass
extendible poles today and before I
replace my droopy old PVC verticals for
the HI-Z 3 ele array. I'm wondering if
anyone has experimented with the length of
the elements and found better results. I
believe the wire is 19' long and wonder if
24' would make an objective difference in
directivity or null?
These are heavy poles & 4' long each and I
have to lift them upright so more than 6
of them would be unwieldy for me to get up
& inserted into the base, doing it by
myself alone. If the extra 4' would be of
help, I'm sure I can manage.
Thanks
