My only thought is that the performance of verticals is strongly 
dependent on soil conductivity, while horizontal antennas care only 
about height. I think you said your soil was average. That would make me 
concentrate on horizontal antennas, and getting them as high as 
possible. I have lousy soil but tall trees, and my high dipoles perform 
very well.
