My opinion, unless you are putting up something bigger than what a TX-438 tower
is rated to handle, is that it is a waste of about a hundred bucks to use
anything more expensive than a four bolt flange bearing with a clamp on the
mast resting on the bearing collar so you are not relying on set screws. You
can spend $160 for a TB-3 or you can spend $30-40 on something that will do the
job just fine. That has been my experience anyway.
