[TowerTalk] New Tower Installation @ KN8N

My wife and I are preparing to purchase property and build a new home
 where there are no covenants or restrictions against towers.  Everytime
 we get interested in a home, there are restrictions that prevent me
 from having a tower on the property so we're going out to the country
 where we can get 4 or 5 acres outside of a plat.
   
  My question:
   
 I see where KA9FOX put up a self supporting 72' Trylon at his old qth and at his new qth, he put up a 95' Rohn 55G.  I know at his old qth, he didn't have the space for the 55G.  Other than the additional feet between the two, what are the advantages of the guyed Rohn tower over the self-supporting?
   
 I am doing my homework well in advance of the actual purchase and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
   
  Larry, KN8N
