For all practical purposes, your change is close to an omni. One
issue: It has a fairly high take-off angle at 48 degrees. Some
people do not worry about take-off angle, the elevation angle of
maximum radiation. This is because the differences are only a few
dB. It takes 6 dB to make a one s-unit change, so you're not totally
ruining your chances for a QSO if you're down a few.
