Good on your FM-6. I have a friend using the larger Wineguard and it works well. Where he feels the antenna falls a little short is F/S and F/B performance. But then, its a 6 el antenna on a bit of a short boom. You stack a pair and that should improve plus, you'll pick up around 2.5 db gain.
Ummmmm.... the Inno's linked are not 144 mHz at all. Look at the specs for the 17el, below. Center frequency is 98 mHz. While I think the numbers below have a bit of "blue sky" included and $528.81 USD is a hefty price, with APS being gone, these are high performance alternatives.
Performance:
Gain @ 98MHz :13.26dBi
Max Gain: 13.78dBi
Typical F/B: 28dB
Max F/B: 42.7dB
Gain at 98MHz 10m (33') above ground: 19.01dBi
