Has any one heard of the outbacker antenna brand. They seem to be top of the line, but a little pricey. Are these antenna's really worth it?

I found this one http://cgi.ebay.com/HF-VHF-10-Band-Mobile-Base-Antenna-New-Ham-radio-v_W0QQitemZ130154693309QQihZ003QQcategoryZ1502QQcmdZViewItem and I have been told by others that it is the same as the outback.... Almost ordered one but ended up ordering the parts to make an 80m dipole and an antenna tunner after talking to one of the local hams about my application. I still might get one to have around.

Outbacker is a tapped vertical. You need to move a jumper every time you change bands. If you have a set band your using not bad, but if your just jumping around for contacts its not very good.
