I made the same comparison at 40M. The difference between 120
(quarterwave) radials and 1 amounts to 0.1dB Clip that one down by a
tenth and the difference climbs to an astronomical 0.3dB.

Maybe the difference is the length of the radials. I used ½-wavelength
radials as the peak ground current is at 0.35-wavelength from the base
of the monopole - ¼-wavelength radials would be too short to reach
that area.
