Default 75 meter hamstick vs low dipole

If I have a low dipole about 10 feet off the ground for 75 meters,
would it be better if I put a hamstick 75 meter vertical up and
connect the dipole wires to the ground side for a vertical?

In another forum, I was informed that the signal for the vertical was
very low at every angle compared to the dipole.

One of the things i was thinking about was if it would be beneficial
to add a good ground radial to the mobile whip on the car, once
parked. however, it is obvious that if one can raise, even 10 feet, a
full sized 1/2 wave dipole, it would produce much better results being
left in the dipole configuration.

Thank you to all who participated. (Even to the one who simply said
"NO"). that was a short, sweet and to the point answer.
