Default Interceptor 10k or Jo Gunn Son of a Gunn

Im up in the air and need some help from people with Knowledge of these 2 antennas.Im going to bite the bullet and get one or the other.Both comparable antennas in price.Have heard nothing but good things about the 10k and vertually nothing on the jo gunn.Any help would be appreciated.Im an 11 meter kind of guy and dont anticipate my future in radio to be any different for those that will have opinions on the future use of my antenna.Thanx.Also have a second tower going up in a while for a beam.Just set the foundation for my 60 footer(3 20' sections) yesterday and am going to use this one for my ground plane.Have a 40'er(2 section)Im going to use for my beam.

Go with the Interceptor and put the beam on the 60 foot tower and the Interceptor on the 40 foot. You will get better use out of your beam being higher than your ground plane.

Just got my 60' tower up today for the trial run to make sure all was well with the measurements.Still have to finish the fabrication of the mount thats going to attatch to the house.Still have a couple of weeks probably till I get my antenna anyways.Ran it all the way up today and the top section all the way up is even with the tip of my v-5000,Without a pole in the top and I plan on using at least a 10'er.

ANNNNTICIPAAAAAATION!!!!!!!
