Of course it's digital, which justifies the price
entirely as radio waves carrying digital signals are far more fussy than
their analogue counterparts at the same frequency ;-)

DAB isn't at the same frequency - it's significantly higher.

DAB's wavelength is shorter, so you do really need an aerial
specificaly designed for the purpose to get optimum reception. One
cheaper option worth looking at is JVC's HAL3. It sits at a 90 degree
angle, but the mast's only 26cm, so it tends to look OK on the rear
roof on most vehicles (probably worth checking the underhang clearance
before buying one though!). Still more expensive than typical FM
aerials, but about half the price of most roof mounted DAB ones.
