I too did some testing with bonding the screen to the mast. I found some slight differences .
I did the testing off the shed , feedpoint about 10' off the ground , no pre-amp , pointed right trough a tree 100' away at digital ch 19 SunTv , 32.8 miles away. The idea was to use a rather weak signal for testing.
Using a LG tv , the meter reads up to 32 bars.
Not bonded to the mast at 3" spacing , front was 15.5 bars / back 16.5 .
2'" spacing was front 16.5 / back 16.5 . 1" spacing was front 17.5 / back 16.5 .
Bonded showed 1" spacing front 16.5 / back 15.5 . 1 bar stonger "not" being bonded. At 3" spacing , reading was reversed. Turning the screen around didn`t make any diff.
Very minor differences but shows some tweeking can be done.
I also found it had a narrower beam width than a GH .
As far as mounting , if going for non-bonding, some thought would have to be put to that for longativity . Plexy dont work well in a clamping method .
