extra height is better generally. the expense, proper  installation, danger 
and variables[neighbors,permits,windy area] are to be  considered.
i've been fortunate in that my previous qth [n. il] and   this one[nw tn.] 
are good locations. i've never had more than 50' in height.  that's with a 
modest TA -33 tribander. i have wire arrays up on 40 & 80  because i now have 3+ 
acres. i am currently 1 away from all wrkd dxcc. i need N.  Korea. so you can 
get to the dxcc top without monster antennas. i'll never be a  big gun contest 
station but i'm happy with what i have. that is the MAIN  consideration. what 
will you be satisfied with. you'll know  when you reach  that point.
