Most mfgrs are making dual tier antennas and calling (spec'ing) their more expensive models for rough service applications.
Telewave, Sinclair, ComProd, Bluewave all make great antennas. Bluewave makes a really well built antenna I'd spec for service at any rough service location. The problem is the price of rough service antennas... they are really expensive. In the Wal Mart world we now live in (global economy) the guy down the street will quote a mobile antenna on a base bracket to your full size repeater antenna so you should pay attention to those smaller details. The answer to your question... No, the Comprod and Bluewave Antennas are mucho more expensive versus lighter duty Sinclair and Telewave products.
