it's a good antenna, real good, however overpriced.
The owner/engineer Jack is a good friend of my father, I have met him a few times, very nice, very knowledgeable, but caters to a crowd that isn't the cheapasses we are here..
I think the main plus would be..the multi bands without a tuner, and being OCF for more mounting options. Not perfect for everything, of course there is a trade off.
A simple wire dipole is a great antenna, my $6 wire dipole works as well on 10m as anything else I have used, but I can't switch bands without switching antennas.
Jack of all trades, master of none, but for what it is, it does do a great job, removing the price point of course, and chews up a lot less real estate than 8 dipoles.
