G4FGQ:

The only difference in performance between a cage antenna and an ordinary
thin-wire dipole is a modest increase in bandwidth. There is no increase in
radiating/receiving efficience.

Measurements by K8CFU found "surprising" increase in signal strenght from
folded dipole/cage vs. straight radiator.

- another subject for unbelievers, measure it and see what it really is.
