I agree. For me, the primary design objectives are maximizing forward
gain, beamwidth, and gain bandwidth. I don't care about F/B.

Ditto as Ive already mentioned as F/R isnt useful to me since I have several
receiving antennas. Gain variation with reasonable lengths of coax are
miniscule and its not being wasted in a hybrid either.
