An Inverted L is very predictable in performance (repeatable
at different locations), but involves some effort in an
ground system to be effective. With a good ground system it
will always be competitive with performance expected from a
full size vertical at the same location.
A slopper depends heavily on what is on the tower, and where
stuff is mounted on the tower. It's a matter of luck how it
works, or if it works at all. It may be almost as good as a
full size vertical, or it could be as bad as a total flop.
