Default SteppIR Stealth-mounted flush with the roof of a house

On the SteppIR webpage, one of the photos is a SteppIR dipole mounted
flush with the roof to provide stealth operations. I wonder whether
this arrangement is worth it?

Is this too high tech / high cost for low return on investment?

Thanks in advance

Why would anybody go to all that expense of getting certain
desirables
from his antenna and then throw them all away by placing thr antenna
so close to the house wiring and structure. He might just as well load
his gutters to obtain stealth operation. I imagine that would be a lot
less money spent and he loses nothing when he moves house!
