I am in the process of replacing my mast and have come to the same conclusions you have based on input from Dwyer Mast. My mast failed at the slot. I'm replacing my mast with a Dwyer DM330. Instead of the slot for the spreader bar I'm installing a DH2331 (Colgate New Style Spreader Bracket) $64.90 and DH2503 Airfoil spreaders. I'm also going to a jib hound for the forestay. The Dwyer extrusion is 3.3" x5" which is a little diverent than the 3" x 4.9" Santana extrusion. I'm also adding tangs to the the mast for connection of the standing rigging. I can send you a drawing from Dwyer if you'd like.
