Default Towers - lattice vs. tubular?

If my budget would stand it Heights would be my first choice! My crank
up mast was purchased in about 1980 for somewhere around $400.

I bought a self-supporting 56' Heights tower with its clamshell

power drill and never leave the ground for anything.

IMHO, nested towers that leave the boom 22' feet in the air and the antenna
elements 4-to-15 feet from your reach are overrated!
