M2 makes good antennas but don't sell cushcraft or Hygain short.
Remember gain is because of boom length and number of elements .... not some magic ....

On 2 meters I run a 9 elm M2 and its on a 2 wave length boom it's good for about 14 dbi gain and f/b of about 22 db
On 6 I use a 4 elm hygain on a 3/4 wave boom good for about 10 dbi gain and f/b of about 20db
I have run everything from a 3 elm cushcraft to quad stacked 17 elm KLM's and Yagi's rules of gain always apply. If you have any doubts go to companys like cushcraft or Hygain or M2 and check out what they say ... Gain is regardless of what frequency your on....
EXAMPLE ......

No matter who makes it or what they say ..... Yagi had it right.
