[50mhz] Good gain verticals?

I am considering a gain vertical antenna for 50-54 MHz for a small suburban
lot.  I am limited to one "clean looking" vertical antenna for FM work and
SSB/CW for this band.
The Hygain V6 looks OK, with about 21 feet length, two 5/8 sections,
decoupling radials and claims 3dbD gain.  The Diamond antenna looked similar
in design, but narrower bandwidth and a "claim" of 6dB (over something).  I
don't have the time to build homebrew.

Anything else in commercial 6M gain vertical antennas?  Comments?

Thanks & 73
