I have been using my MA5B since November 2003 and can highly recommend this product.
If you have only a small back yard this minibeam will get you on 5 bands as it works as a 2 element on 20/15/10 and works as a rotary dipole on 17 & 12.
With a turning radius of 2.7m and low wind loading it can be turned with a light to medium rotator.
The signal radiated from my modest station is not far behind other local hams from my area, some using larger antennas or more power.
So if your stuck for room try a MA5B from Cushcraft!
