OptiBeam makes a 2 element Moron 40M antenna.
It is built like a tank and has all the attributes Steve describes.
I think it comes with free bratwursts, but not sure.

Joe,
A couple of years ago, I built 4 Moxon's for 40, two for me and two for
a buddy (actually, he help quite a bit) and could not be happier
The boom is 21 1/2 feet as I recall and I know the elements are short,
but don't remember their actual length.
I went with the Moxon design because of the f/b ratio and the
bandwidth. Bottom of the band is 1.4:1 and the top is 1.3:1 and flat a
7150. Gain is typical of any 2 element antenna at 6 or 7 db, but the
f/b is about 30 db instead of 12 db, or so, with the standard 2 element
design.
i do not know of any commercially available, but many have been made
using 2 element Cushcraft antennas. Lots of info on the web.
I could not be happier with it.
