The DB4e has a bit more than 2 dB gain advantage over the CS4. So the CS4 would only be a fair substitute for the DB4e.

Also, removing the reflector screen from the CS4 dramatically reduces the gain of the antenna. You may find you have trouble with reliable reception of the signals to the east with the CS4 modified. If you choose to modify the CS4, be careful to save all the pieces so you can restore the antenna to it's original configuration.
