Hi Alex,
I bought one of Vine's dual 4m/6m beams last year for the same
reasons as you are considering. Well made, good SWR on both bands
and I can't really tell the difference between the monoband versions
it replaced (I used to swap them back and forth to suit my contest / DX needs).
I looked at the G0KSC designs but didn't have the time to build one -
Vine are selling them as now (not sure if they have the dual band
version - but talk to Ron).
Summary, I can detect any compromise in performance, but then a wet
noodle works when condx are good!
