The panel style antenna is much more compact than the Yagi antennas with the same gain. The difference between 8-bay panel vs the long boom Yagi will only be 2 or 3 dB at the most. So (obviously) it's up to you. The panel option is viable, I don't want to leave the impression that your friend had given bad advise.
