Money and space are actually limiting factors, but at least CC&R's

I think because space, money, and aesthetics are limiting factors, I
need to use precision to my advantage rather than size or height, and a
4 square may help there.

Comments?

Any reason you're not considering a 20 meter dipole, fed with
ladderline to a tuner, for 20 thru 10 meters? Put it 25 feet high, and
it's nearly or more than a half wave high on all bands.
