Going for new antenna , looked 4 el PKW quad ,5el ZX yagi when the Maco Shooting Star showed up as a choise...or is it a choice ?

Maco Antenna Specifications

Im used to directional antennas but thought it could be nice to combine horizontal&vertical for a change,so i thought abaut Macos Shooting Star. Whats the trick whit working both horz&vertikal? is it even worth spending money on?
 

The advantage of having both polarizations is that when propagation changes, you have the possible option of keeping up with it to some point/degree. The down side includes the thing gets more complicated to set up and support. That part is the same for all such antennas.
Then you've got the differences between the characteristic performance of yagi's and quads. That's more than I'm going to get into right now (at work).
Have fun.
