I have the 5 BA which exceeds my expectations by any measure. I use to have monoband yagis for 10,15 and 20 Mtrs but it was too much hazzle and maintenance. The 5 BA is as you know without traps and other lossy components and it is very very easy to assemble once you get the hang of it. It took me only three hours to assemble the 5BA with its 15 elements and three art boom. It has been up for 4 months at 31 mtrs ( 100 ft ) below my force12 240 / 230 yagi at 115 ft. and I get reports on long haul dx that superseed most other stations. Very easy to work with in pileups and I have not experienced difficulties getting through pileups on the higher bands in day time despite the relatively high height compared to the wavelenght (a bit too low radiation angle). The 5 BA is according to my knowledge force12´s best 5 bander maybe except for the c49xr which I dont know !! In any case I think you will get maximum performance (for whatever that may mean) out of any force 12 yagi. Good luck.
