Luciano,

I would recommend you buy the tubing and build whatever you want. 

I doubt where you are located you need the additional front to back and 
bandwidth that the 4 element OWA will provide over a 3 element Yagi.  The gain 
will be about the same.

If the tower or rotator isn't good enough for a full sized Yagi, build a W6NL 
style Moxon.  It will be inexpensive and work as well or better than any of the 
commercial 2 element designs.  

73... Stan, K5GO
