I just purchased a Cushcraft MA8040V for my place.
My understanding is these antennas work well.
Got this one for $200 from AES.
Bandwidth on 80/75 is supposed to be 100Khz 2:1 SWR
and they recommend only 8-10 radials.
I will let you know how this all plays out if you are interested.

Sure, let me know how it works out. But, do you have the edge of
saltwater? If so, you're likely to outperform me regardless of the
intrinsic differences in the antennas. I just saw what saltwater does
for verticals down in Belize. A lot.
