The old shark fins? Those things are big and ugly! The Blitzsafe antenna I linked to is no bigger than a book of matches. The Blitzsafe antenna is also paintable! Its hardly noticable when stuck on your roof. If you paint it to match your car it disappears.
Terk has a smaller antenna thats only somewhat bigger than a qaurter. However Terk's XM antennas still have a reputation for not being the best of quality.
The old shark fin antennas just do not perform as well as the newer micro antennas. The newer antennas have a much better element design.
