[amsat-bb] Cushcraft A270-10 center mount?:

I have a Cushcraft A270-10S dualband VHF/UHF yagi, and it uses a rear mount as it comes from the factory. It would really work better for me if I center mounted it instead. I am running it horizontally polarized, so the mast material won't matter. Has anyone tried this? If so, does it work ok? I called Cushcraft Tech Support about this and their tech thought that it should work, but he didn't inspire a huge amount of confidence in me.
