I found the error, I had to fix two conditions that I had changed in the
model:

Copper wire (for loss)
Ground characteristics

Now that both antennas have the same conditions, the T has ever so slightly
better gain at 20 degrees than the Inverted L. Not enough to bother with the
increased complexity, and the input Z is now down around 5 ohms for the T
and 8 ohms for the L.

Now, is it worth matching the 8 ohms up to 50 at the feedpoint, or just
using the tuner in the shack to take care of it? (coax feed, LMR-400, about
50')
