Default Comet B-10 VHF Antenna Question

Hello,
I recently bought a Comet B-10 mobile antenna. However, I
noticed it's only rated for 50 watts, and my Icom IC-208H puts out 55
watts. I traded the B-10 in for a Comet-Maldol EX-104B which is only a
couple inches longer than the B-10; the bases look almost identical.
The EX-104B is rated for 100 watts. Anyone have any idea why these
two antennas are rated so differently for power handling?
