Thought I would give an update here for those interested.

After almost four weeks since I’ve done the z-wave antenna mod, I can say that never been so pleased with Homey’s z-wave response like I am now. Touch wood!  
Whereas before the antenna modification most of my devices used to be reached via two, three of four hops, now most of them have a direct connection with Homey, some via one hop and only one via two hops, this particular Fibaro Dual relay is farthest located from Homey and before the mod barely could work via 4 hops, it was a hit and miss.  
Currently in total I have 60 z-wave devices.  
I’ve made some screenshots from the dev tools, I won’t post them here as this tread is already full with photos. For those interested, let me know and I shall PM them.

The best part, all my Fibaro Multisensors work without missing one beat since all have a direct connection with Homey. Four weeks ago, those sensors except one close by Homey, were more or less useless.  
Not to mention that when including/excluding a device, neither I have to bring Homey close by the device nor I have to bring the device to Homey. How good is that?

In regards with the zigbee, I only have 6 devices, all battery powered, all reached with no problems.
