Fractions of a S point between best and worst with a lowering of the take off angle of the main lobe, all so little as to make no significant difference and certainly not enough on their own to justify some of the claims being made as to X antenna being magically better than Y when it comes to monopole vertical antennas.

The only real difference which makes one commercially available monopole vertical worth buying over another is the mechanical construction. Any other claims made are effectively people buying into the marketing or people trying to convince themselves they've not just wasted $100 to find their new "Mega Super Gainer Signal Blaster 2000" performs effectively the same as their $20 halfwave did.
