Shlama Akhi Abudar,
I am fine with either. Granted "mar" is the cognate of "adon" --"lord", but I don't see anything problematic with "master" for "mar". It comes down I think more to personal taste and besides which YHWH is our Master!
Also, I think I prefer "Master" simply because "Lord" has a lot of baggage on the English side. But the broader point my friend is simply this: Let us NOT use "Jehovah". For me the emphasis is on YHWH.
