antenna upgrade

I am thinking of upgrading the antenna head of my winegard system (model VS-0604/VS-6412) by adding the new Sensar IV batwing head.Is this a worth while improvement for over the air reception. The cost is minimal and I must be sure it will clear the AC unit, do the make longer square legs to move head higher thus clear the AC unit when it is down. Thanks

Winegard doesn't offer longer legs for the batwing, but I have seen similar aluminum tubing in hardware/home improvement stores that could be used to fabricate your own. I wouldn't suggest extending them very much though, since you'll be putting a heavier load on the gear mechanism. You can also cut off the end element on the Wingman if necessary to get the needed clearance. That will reduce the effectiveness, but not drastically.
