But if you try to squeeze juice from them, and that's what you are looking 
for, then answer is very simple. :-)
What you mean apples and oranges? I thought we are talking about apples 
(Yagis) and apples (Quads) = antennas.

Thank goodness for software! Now we can "explain" everything :-)

There are plenty of reasons why they are different, when you add them up, 
there is enough reasons for serious operator to choose quad or Quad-Yagi 
configurations. This is based on real 2m modeling and measurements.
