That is technically true but Extra does give you additional bandwidth which
is nice during contesting weekends. Also, I have worked a lot of Region 1
DX that a US amateur won't have access to unless you're an Extra. That's really
the main reason I got my Extra was to work that rarer DX.

Antennas are a non-sequitur in this though it's the antenna that makes the
QSO, not the radio. :)
