That high lobe has a definite advantage for many contacts, DX and somewhat local. I see it regularly on 80M with the inverted vee at 170' where the main lobe is at the horizon and the other is straight up and rather broad. A 160 vee is at the same feedpoint and often blows the verticals away. The rope ends are tied off at about 20' high almost 300' away.
