[QUOTE="archive10, post: 924005"] I would say the Az/El system is mechanically simpler (less things to lubricate/break), weighs less, and may even require smaller actuators. Consider when a 2.4 meter dish complete with reception electronics and everything needs to be pulled back from near-horizon sats. Massive actuator required. So with a gregorian mirror (or even without it), the Az/El mount is probably easier to deal with for large dishes. [/QUOTE]
