[QUOTE="archive10, post: 905690"] I think the Laminas 1500 will do just fine for you. The Gibertini is good dish, but it is metal, and will warp, bend and rust, either through weather, or simple misshandling when mounting (I've dropped a CM120 from about 1.5 metres with no impact!) The CM120s are nice, but I think the extra area of the 1500 will give you an advantage. Although I have never handled a Laminas 150, I am fairly confident they will outlive the weather you throw at it - as long as fixed properly to a metal pole attached to concrete, and it is not mounted at the top of a ridge or something silly. Being fibreglass-reinforced polyester (SMC == Sheet Moulded Compound) means that it will hold up strongly until it cracks rather than bend or deform gradually, and that again takes quite some beating, a lot more than a metal dish will withstand.
