Careful with the overuse of the "HAR". Bob has a copyright on the word. :)

The height alone shouldn't make toooo much difference in the total upper 
capacity if you have a top hat of typical proportions (which would dominate 
the capacity). What are your approx before/after dimensions? Maybe the group 
can jointly give you a guestimation on the needed inductance.

BTW, easy for me to say that increasing the height to the max is the way to 
go. I've never erected a pole that tall.  Good luck - and them some!
