[Antennas] HF Beam Question

[Kelley Shaddrick]

I'm looking at a new beam for my 48' tower. I want to stay in the $500
range. My two top candidates are a Hy-Gain TH-3MK4 and the Cushcraft A3S.
I've based this on a little research, product reviews, and comments from
hams. I'm a little leery of the Cushcraft option as no one has very nice
things to say about their customer support.

Anyone have any comments on these two beams? Any other beams in this price
range I should consider?

Thanks,
