A while back I was interested in the same antenna, and inquired among PVRC
brethren. I was told to forget it by some number of them, which included one top
op who was replacing his Mosley stuff. I was surprised by the response, but
heard the before and after at his house. *Not* close.
On the other hand, regarding the monster F12 C51, which is a C31 with two of
the new "N" 40 meter elements, a new owner compares the triband part roughly to
a stack of C3's, and the 40 meter section as F12's best so far. He had the
C3/C4XL stuff up at same heights on a separate tower and was able to make A/B
tests.
Get Tom to make you a 240X with the new elements. Their secondary resonance is
at 18 MHz and will not pull 15 meters on the C31. If you want less mast load,
and a short mast, consider the C36XR.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Mosley Antennas
Folks, I'm having second thoughts about putting up a Force 12 XR31 tribander
stacked with an XM240. Instead, I', now thinking about a Mosley Pro 67C.
Any opinions oputr there?
Bill, N8BR
