Default Rohn 25G without guys, how high?

i have been on 50' of rohn 25 unguyed to take down a tribander. it was in a
no wind zone (surrounded by very dense 60'+ pine trees). i didn't like it
and would not recommend it. the 'old' book shows a max of 40' with 1.5sq ft
of antenn in a 70mph wind zone with no ice... and drops down to 20' with
90mph winds plus ice.

How high would you all feel comfortable about going with a Rohn 25G tower
without guys, with a 6-foot concrete base and a 2 meter / 440 gain
vertical antenna on top (e.g. Diamond X-700HNA)?
