Jussi,
I have looked at a couple of momo antennas, the construction did not impress me! However you are looking at the GXP antennas, from their website most of those antennas have an 84 mph wing rating published. I elected to go all JK antennas on my last tower we put up. JK has copied the boom to element mounting somewhat from M2 , it’s actually a bit stronger because JK uses a thru bolt and m2 used a smaller bolt into a tapped hole in aluminum. I’m very impressed with JK antennas.
Nearly all of JK antennas have a 100 mph wind rating!
I’m very interested with your GXP antenna results

The antennas certainly look sturdy. I mention this mainly because he seems to be putting out some videos now showing construction in great detail.
