I have a Cushcraft stack pair of 2m 20 el yagis here, just took them down a month ago and put in stroage lot (not doing much 2m anymore).

They really kick butt if you need to communicate via VHF DX modes! Also helpful when trying to hit one repeater without interfering with another in a different direction. I am on top of a hill, and hit a ton of repeaters in the crowded 2m band. The extra directivity combined with low power is indespensible when working repeater mode without jamming a bunch of other repeaters.
