[QUOTE="archive10, post: 989642"] CM120 is the proper kit. Does not rust or bend, and will perform as you'd wish for. But it requires a polar mounts (hens teeth or expensive from SSS) and actuators + v-boxes. Laminas OFC 1200 is light and will fit nicely on a standard (high-end) motor if mounted in a not too-exposed place. Lower-priced (smaller) steel dishes such as the Triax (beware, they're smaller than you think - the 1.1m Triax is really a 98 cm dish!) are easier to come by, and will fit easier on the motor, but the weight may be the same or higher than the Laminas plastic 1.2m dish - which is indeed a 1.2 meter dish... Also consider the Gibertini 125 - very nice dish, but also a bit heavy. Will need Gibertini or other "proper" polar mount. SO, for price: Go for a motor with a low-cost steel dish (alu if possible) such as the maxview. Revel in whatever you can receive, and marvel at the low cost of the equipment. For performace: Get a CM120 with a polar mount - if, impossibly, you can find one in usable condition for an installer to install - or grab a Laminas with a high-end motor. [/QUOTE]
