The stock PAC-12 does pretty well; in the HFPack tests it was less than
1dB down from a 16' wire with a single elevated radial on 20M.
The MP1 performed
What's that saying?
A good antenna can over come a bad rig.

Ok, I've read about the PAC-12 antenna and I'm almost convinced to get/build

It's a short vertical, right?
What is its performance?
It's got to be a compromise, right?
Would a larger coil diameter with wider spacing between the winds improve
performance?

portable antennas. See info on the HFPack web site :

The MP1 performed similarly. I would expect the Buddistick that
Elecraft sells to be in similar territory. I don't think that the
loading coil is a big issue,
