Granted what you're describing is the best but sometimes it's just not needed.
Example: I live in midtown Manhattan on a high floor. Tons of strong signals, though multipath distortion can be a problem sometimes.
I use 2 antennas and switch between them on my modded Onkyo T9090II, including the Fanfare FG2G. Works superbly, crystal clear, drives the tuner past limiting, etc. etc. I would have little use for anything more.
