If I read your NB models correctly, it appears that I benefit in three ways from being at 36' isolated and with a choke over 27' without isolation and without choke.

36' has the huge vertical lobe of the 27' model split into two more useful high elevation lobes, an isolated mast should reduce/eliminate the more significant currents on the mast over the 27' non-isolated model, and likewise the choke should reduce /eliminate the potential CMC the current on the mast of the models suggest it would have without a choke.
1. My real world setup at 36' ought to have lower elevation - 14* vs 19* and
2. a second higher but useful lobe vs the useless vertical blob of the 27' model.
3. Additionally, my isolation from mast and choke should benefit me with currents on the mast/coax that now should radiate toward the destination.

The 7.36 gain of the 36' model versus the 7.84 of the lower 27' model is too miniscule to be of measurable consequence and is virtually a dead heat.

So far, I think I'll hang with the bang. I will still study the other models.
