ANY antenna that provides gain over isotropic, by definition, *IS*
directional.  Even a 5/8 wave vertical; it provides gain in the plane
normal to the antenna at the expense of gain in the plane containing the
antenna.  Of course, you may not much care about receiving FM broadcast
stations that may be overhead, but if you're receiving satellite
transmissions, you do.
