C3 vs the other brands

The recent mention of Force antennas reminds me of a question that's
been rattling around for some time. I keep hearing the C3 referred to
as a set of monobanders sharing a single boom. There are six loaded elements 
but no traps, so this appears to translate to three two element yagis
interlaced on a boom. How could these yagis possibly compete with the
other trapped yagi designs that have 4-5 active elements per band? What 
am I missing?
