Big difference in count, so I bought. I have it mounted on my SUV and I can still fit under a 6'6" clearance so its nice.

Last night when I was downtown in Houston, I was stopped at a light waiting for the light to change, and the AP count went UP by 50.

Once I get some income coming in (sucks to be un-employed) either a job or my un-employment kicks in, I plan to drive a little more.
Getting the antenna outside the metal box works wonders. I noticed that if you move even a few feet ( waiting for the light ) you will have a better chance of logging more AP's.
