i believe the difference to be in the wire vs the aluminum, but i could be wrong.  once the ground plane was removed from the aluminum tube i10k, the antenna became much more sensitive to it's environment and all the before mentioned variables greatly affected it and to a greater degree.  this can also partly be the reason that some set ups work well for folks and not for others when trying to install the same type antenna at different locations and under slightly different variables.
