Default Would anybody be interested in an FM folded dipole?

When it comes to simple outdoor FM antennas folks I think tend to go for:

a simple dipole,

MR=N

the circular folded dipole:

or end fed halfwave whip:

I feel like messing about with a straight folded dipole and a turnstile
(R.1100-FM; R.1100-FM OMNI):

Just wondering if anyone feels the same. Thing is FUNKE will not supply
direct, but CPC will order them and wondered whether a bulk order would
reduce costs.

Best bet is a vertical folded dipole. I wouldn't give those circular
things chimney room!....
