Having once owned an R-5, and having opened the "matching network" box
to see what's inside it, I'd take the cobweb antenna over the R-5 for
performance any day.

For the rather rare times I operate on the "DX" bands, I use a
Cushcraft R5 (five bands 10-20). Much smaller foot print than a cobweb
style antenna. Has been up for over twenty years and is still going.
