As per the difference between Commercial and ham antennas usually the commercial antennas are better built & will withstand more wind load & last longer with less service , But I don't think would have any better signal . I use both for ham Have a chushcraft 26-b2 has been in use for 9 years works as good as day I put up . Also have a commercial Dipole stacked 4 which has been in use for same amount of time . Both are on 30' tower if I was going to put on tower above 100' would want the best antenna I could find or Buy would be a whole lot cheaper than having to replace often .
