[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 456150, member: 256551"] It depends on the dish quality to a certain extent. The larger prime focus dishes are normally for professional use, whereas the small offset dishes are mass produced for the consumer market. The channel Master's ar apparently at the quality end of the offset dish market. For the larger prime focus dish the shadow caused by the LNB on the dish becomes neglible, for small dishes it is significant, hence one of the reasons for an offset dish. If everything was equal, apart from one dish being Prime focus and the other being offset, I would have thought there wouldn't be a great deal in it, with the Prime focus having very slightly less gain, but there is no way it would be equivalent to dish half its size, the LNB is not that big.
