Nothing for you, something for many. Personal preference for the anal.
1: The look. My SVT has very clean lines and a pole sticking up when it's not being used is annoying.
2: Power antenneas don't last very long. All that up and down takes away life. Some people can go for weeks without listening to the radio so why should it go up and down everytime I start the car?
