Given that a J-pole is only a dipole with an alternative feed method (i.e. at the end rather than the centre), I have to wonder where this gain comes from.
beats me, but when we fly 'em on the balloons, the J-pole has a better range. Could be that the lack of a balun isn't so bad with a J-pole than with a dipole. Could be some other construction issue, too.
