John, I think this is a reasonable conclusion. Early on I used a G5RV and it was invaluable reference for my later antenna building experience. I went to build doublets in the same space and I still keep an 80m doublet in the air.
Recently I have gotten into building no compromise rotatable dipoles. By no compromise I mean full sized monoband rotatable dipoles - no traps, coils or cap hats 1/2 wave off the ground in free space. These are relatively easy to build without a huge tower if you keep the weight down. That’s not too hard to do without a boom to support the parisitic elements. Great bang for the buck.
