If you are close enough you can get the channels you want with the Jack, then there is no advantage to having the Wingman.
If the channel you want is too far away for the Jack then you will want the Wingman. Might still not be enough. I know if I camp near Parksville I can get more Vancouver channels with my Jack than I can if a camp farther up-Island at Qualicum Bay. The thing turns on how desperate you are to get a Vancouver channel in Qualicum Bay that you can get easily in Parksville.
If it happens that you can still get the channel you want in either place, it doesn't matter which antenna you have.
