I hope you dont mind me asking but I've been thinking of going with the C3E/D, however the C19 as you say is about the same size as the C3 with a little better numbers however it is 58 lbs with a quite a bit larger wind load. I'm using a Tri-ex W51, its about 20 years old now and I wonder if the C19 would be a bit heavy for it. Also the rotator I'm using is a Ham IV, I have only a UHF/VHF dual band vertical on the tower. My HF antenna on the tower now which would be replaced by the C3 or C19 is a Telrex TB-5, (about the same size as the C19). Is the performance difference between the C19 and the C3E/D that great, should I still consider the C19 or am I better of with the C3, which is nice and light compaired with what I have now. I am also considering the cost of the two antennas, the C19 already comes with a 100 mph rating where the C3 it must be added with the D option. My intuition says get the C19 because of better F/B but my practical side says get the C3E/D because its lighter, less wind load, covers extra bands, and if I'm reading the specs correctly the performance of the C3 is not that much less than the C19, would I see/hear the difference?
