IMHO, Broomsticks are only better than elevated feed whips for really high gain stuff (9dB or more) or Commodore Utes with Jet Pilot logos and Bundy Rum Stickers (sarcasm intended).

I have run Broomsticks in the past when I was into remote touring but they are a bit of a PIA anywhere else so I reckon unless you are operating outback or plains country or broad acre farming I would go with a whip
