radials vs radialless @ 144/430 MHz - "stealth" antennae

Because of an antenna unfriendly neighborhood and limited space I am
considering using a Diamond antenna either with or without radials,
specifically X-50 vs SE-100.
They are the same length, but the SE-100 is a "marine" antenna without
radials. Nominally they both sport the same gain etc.

What are the tradeoffs?
Without radials it would certainly look less conspicious.

TIA

Marc
