But you're in Florida, I wonder how this would work out in the desert
of Southern AZ?
They would probably work better to Asia and Oceania from the desert of
Arizona than they work from the sandbar of Florida.

I need to agree with Jim and others in support of the verticals.
I've been #2 in the world the last two years in the 100W/simple
antennas (verticals, dipoles) class of CQ DX Marathon. My antennas
are variously an 80/40 trap inverted V at 40', an R5 or an N6BT
Q51 (bandswitched dipole for 20-10) at 18 feet.
Those antennas have been responsible for DXCC Honor Roll CW and Mixed
as well as a major part of the 2500 (once I make my next submission)
in DXCC Challenge since moving to Florida 16 years ago and getting
back on the air after being essentially off for the previous 15. In
addition, the R5 and/or Q51 are responsible for 72 countries and 250
grids on six meters even though neither antenna is designed for that
band.
The verticals and low dipoles are not [nearly] as good as the big
towers and [stacked] mono band beams I had in Ohio but they're a
long way better than no antenna or a random wire snaked around the
fence line.
