I'll take a dipole at 90 feet over a TA-33 at 40 feet...

For what application? A dipole at 30-40 feet is a primo antenna for SS,
probably better than either you mentioned. ("Pick the fight you can win.")

What's the replacement value of the tower and everything on it?
Not hamfest value - replacement value.

"Replacement value" is what I'd have to spend to replace it. Usually that's
equal to "hamfest value".

And then there's the price of the real estate to put it all on.

Everybody needs to live somewhere. The prices of my homes are not a factor
which contributes or detracts from my contest scores.

Take SS - the ham in a rare section has a built-in advantage
over the ham in a nonrare one.

I hear real estate is very reasonably priced in VY0-land.
