The biggest difference in antennas I've ever been first-hand witness to 
(as far as simple wire antennas) was making the change in feed line from 
coax to 450 ohm ladder line.

After that, it was when I closed in the bottom of the 75m inverted vee, 
and made a Delta-wave loop out of it.  Already at 120' long, adding 
another 120' meant a 240' loop of wire, fed wtih 60' of 450 ohm ladder 
line, and using a Heathkit 2060 impedance matching device.  I don't 
think I'll ever go back to a 'regular' dipole, again.
