        So should I pay the extra $30 for the RAX54S? If so, why?

        What do you plan to do with this thing?

         

        Broad brush questions aren't amenable to detailed answers.

         

        What do the reviews say?

         

        What have you discovered from wandering around in this place?

         

        Which would look best on the shelf? Three or four antennae?
