I'm a bit confused on your remark above.

Looks to me like the 1080 is perfectly flat antenna.
Where do you see any bending or sweeping of elements?

It would be even more informing if the "gain" attributed to it (not to
speak of lobe characteristics) were revealed through a link, as
certainly the vendor is wholly lacking in those substantives.
