At my location the gainmaster always has a lower noise floor ( but not signal) than the imax.Also noticed that on the long haul contacts ( 16000 km, not this short across the Channel stuff) The gm also had slightly higher sigs.
Not sure why! but I do know the gm has less cmc issues.and my guess is it produces a cleaner pattern with less high angle radiation.
Interesting test your end would be to fit choke and ground planes on the Imax and do another comparison..
