The Tennamast is probably the better made of the two (being 90mm box section), but the other one is pretty well-made too but is 80mm box, so it really depends on what you intend putting on top of it.

You are aware that the mast being offered by Innovantennas is actually made by MM0CUG, and can be bought directly from him cheaper. He will deliver it free of charge, and he also offers an installation service, I believe. He has a website with all the info.

Looked at this again this evening and noticed that the Innovantenna deal includes a free rotator cage (must have missed that earlier), so that might be something to consider if you are leaning towards that mast.
