Not wanting to start another brand war... I tried a Nagoya (that I still use at times especially when I am concerned about someone stealing it off the vehicle) and have a number of Diamond antennas of varying lengths (that I use more often).
If you go here http://www.diamond-ant.co.jp/english/ama...o5_nr.html you can see the sizes of the Diamond antennas, then go to Strictly Ham to get the price.
I had a similar issue with overall height due to the underground carpark at work a few years back and more recently when I have visited people in hospitals. If I forgot to swap the antenna I would hit fire service pipes, fluro lights and signage as well as scrape the tip on the roof in some spots. Driving a larger 4x4 means that the base is quite high to start off with.

Bernard
