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?


One advantage is that you can dual-feed them all the way from the shack
and, with proper phasing control, can actually manipulate the take-off
angle. Plus they tend to be less sharp in the azimuth plane (not so
pointy).
