[QUOTE="Brits in Bergen, post: 905663, member: 402691"] After receiving some great advice over at the [B][URL='http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/astra-2e-scandinavia-baltics-reports.159948/']Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports[/URL] [/B]thread, I've finally decided that that I need to hit the button and get myself a 150cm dish. Now, the question is WHICH dish to get. Since this question doesn't directly relate to fringe reception and is more a direct comparison if two similar sized dishes, I though it deserved its own thread. I was about to buy the Gibi but then the potential problems of my location dawned upon me. I'm semi-costal (a little in-land but at the end of a fjord) so we get plenty of weather here. Winds can be quite strong which makes me question how the Gibi will stand up to the wind without becoming distorted and the potential for corrosion is also a concern. I would love to get a Channel Master/Raven which I understand are very strong, very well made glass fibre/epoxy/composite/whatever but a) they're very expensive and b) they don't make a 150, I'd have to have a 180 and that, for my needs, is just overkill. [USER=329484]@st1[/USER] mentioned the Laminas and I noticed that they too are glass fibre. I've seen they they also receive good reviews but as most of what I've found is either in German or Polish (I speak neither of these languages) I'm not able to get an understanding of the durability (except that they aren't as robust as the CM/Raven) So, I've narrowed it down to either the Gibertini 150 or Laminas 1500. The Gibertini has the potential to become permanently distorted in high winds and corrosion is a concern (perhaps unfounded) whereas the Laminas could bend in relatively light winds (although it should then spring back into place. The question is: Which one? :) [/QUOTE]
