I did model my system, but only a very rudimentary replication. I just modelled 
 the Yagi on top as a big T.   I just did it to grossly represent the driver in 
my parasitic array.

Maybe you have already seen my shunt feeding video, but if not maybe check it 
out. I talk about some tricks to simplify finding the 50 ohm match point for 
the shunt arm.  If you measure the real R at the shunt arm location now with 
the new top loading, you should get a pretty good idea how far up to move the 
tap.

This video talks about the Omega match if you don’t want to move the shunt arm.
