Default two stacked yagis vs one long yagi

First off if size is no problem then what would be the advantage to
two stacked yagis opposed to one long yagi, considering the gain of
each setup would be equal?

It has been my experience that a single, long Yagi has a narrower beam
width and a narrower bandwidth.

A longer one is easier to feed than a stack but harder to keep in the
air... If the birds like sitting on one end...
