[TowerTalk] 2 meter quandry

[Scott Neader KA9FOX]

I have a Cushcraft 13 ele 'boomer' 2 meter beam that I planned to put on
the top of my mast.  I don't have an all mode rig YET, but am considering
one.  So, do I:

1) mount it horizontally and live with having less range for repeaters?

2) mount it horizontally and also mount a 2 meter vertical above it? (I
have a spare G6 available)

3) buy one of those new Cushcraft A148-20T two meter antennas that have ten
vertical elements and ten horizontal elements with separate feedlines (see
http://www.cushcraft.com/%20Ham/index51.html - $110.00)

4) find some contraption that turns my boomer horizontal OR vertical
(wouldn't that be neat!)

Thoughts??
