I obtain about 20 dB f/b in my two wire Beverages.
NI8G copied my system, and acheived the same results.
There is no reason, other than improper design or installation, that a
reversable two wire Beverage will have less performance than a single
wire antenna.
I use one inch spaced wire, good transformers at both ends, uniform height,
and proper termination.
