Right, the discone is sort of the LPDA of the vertical world.

I expect that the main advantage of a discone antenna is bandwidth.

No matter how impressive that discone antenna looks, it still is just a
vertical, right?
Nothing magical about the signal it radiates.
I mean, you're not going to have DX falling all over you telling you you're
the loudest signal on the band.
