I paid around $60 for mine with local pickup NIB.
I am not sure how it compares to other antennas, but I do know I have to use attentuation for both the Whistler 1040 and 1080 scanners. An example is Weather. I can barely receive weather with the handheld antenna. Local weather station is currently not operating and I have to get it from a distance.. With the Monitenna I have to use attentuation for weather otherwise it overloads the receiver. That is a pretty good example of the difference the antenna has made compared to the handheld antenna.
What did help was the FM trap from RS. I have a some FM transmitters about a mile from my house and FM radio was interfering with many bands.
I can imagine the Antenna craft ST-2 or RS clone has to be similar
