Actually, neither seem to be against the carbon fiber mast but rather the idea that they are legally only available from Marstrom.
Well, this restriction is supposed to be for 2 years only...then other manufacturers are permitted, assuming they can get certified and pay a royalty to Marstrom. I guess it will come down to...can anyone else build a better/cheaper mast than Marstrom and make enough profit to commit to it.
