... how would a chandelle get you more altitude than just a normal climbout at Vx?

The chandelle will not necessarily get you more alitude than a Vx climbout. It just gets you a limited amount of altitude in a short amount of time and space. The altitude you gain is limited by your entry speed (always Va or below), the faster you go, the more altitude you will gain.
