Let's not forget the KT-34 and KT36XA, now resurrected by M2.

..or perhaps we should leave this choice as a well-kept secret!

I've had a KT36XA up for a year now; the mechanical issues are completely solved compared to the KLM design.

Performance is excellent; the 'Tribander Report' notwithstanding (I think they had one with the bad traps on 15).

If the SteppIR can hold up mechanically, it's a really cool concept. I wonder if they're working on a 4-element version? I bet it would be insensitive to rain static, as the elements are inside the fiberglass tubing...
