Default Gamma fed or folded dipoles?

I am going to build an array of 4 stacked dipoles for operation on 2 metres.
I would like to know whether the gamma fed dipole has any advantage over the
folded dipole, apart from the folded dipole being a tad more difficult to
make.


I have heard that the gamma fed dipole has a skewed radiation pattern in
comparison to the folded one.


Any thoughts and advice?
Many thanks

* The folded dipole with 1:4 baloon is best *solution for maching
yagis .


EME operators, who have the greatest need of pattern control, noise
temperature and efficiency, would not agree. *They use the T match.

I do not think so . He is worse than the folded dipole . . .
