With respect to the lower current density being radiated off the cone, there is little doubt this area produces less radiation then the upper 1/2 wave. However, we must not forget that current is divided into four radials and when we look at the CST model our eyes tend to focus right in on the radiator element itself.

It doesn't get any more near field then this. Look towards the outside edges and you can begin to get a sense of what will happen in the far field. The lighter shades of color further out begin to look more proportional with the top 1/2 wave then when looking at the currents directly on the individual radials. Granted, they are still weaker as they should be but it's not as bad as it looks at first glance.
