Yes, the advantages of having good Beverage antennas in addition to an
inverted-L are very well established indeed. I (and thousands of other
Topbanders) can vouch for that from personal experience.
Yes, there are times when your inverted-L will out-hear good Beverages.
Even DX, *but that is the exception rather than the rule.*

know about building effective Beverage antennas:

The biggest mistake people make is not installing their Beverages in the
correct orientation to the DX. See the information near the bottom of my
old webpage there about that.
