Steve,
We installed the mast mount just above the spreaders on our 34. I added a roller furling unit later on the staysail and it was a bit close to the radome but still workable. Mounting it higher would add more weight aloft without much benefit in range. Everything is a tradeoff but all things considered, I still prefer mast mount over pole or backstay mount.
