Tony, Not kowing your system and where it is located and what is at the site. But if you were to make a signaficant increese for the portable performance like 3-6db from what you are using would that be worth the cost.

As others have said -- not significant. But there'll always be someone who'll want to argue the point .... here ya go: Envision pouring a cup of water on a table top -- it makes a puddle of X radius (range) and (PI * R^2) area. Pouring on a second cup will double the area (at the same depth) .. but the radius increases by only 1/3 at best. Doubling the radius (range) requires LOTS more water. Let the naysayer figure out how much. <g> /.
