That pipe and mount sounds a whole lot better!

The rotor is the remaining issue. Most likely, an inexpensive rotor won't last very long with a very large antenna like that on it. There's enough mass to it that the rotor's motor and brakes likely won't survive long and that's even if you install a thrust bearing. If the budget permits it, using an entry-level amateur radio rotor will make your life a lot easier in the future.
