Hi Rob, I'm no expert but can tell you about the Lemon as I have just bought one to connect to my VMagic MPEG capture card in my PC. I cannot fault the Lemon (I have the 07 CI version), for the price its a great box.
With regards to you location, I am bit concerned about the Lemon's tuner sensativity. It reaches only about 50-60% signal strength and quality where I am (Holland), although the picture is very good. I don't know what will happen during a storm with very heavy cloud cover.
My Topfield box which shares the same twin LNB has 99% signal strength and about 95-98% signal quality. If you can find out if the Lemon is ok in your area then you could do much worse.
I have tried a couple of UCAS recievers but was disappointed because of all the hassle and little incompatablity problems I had which is why I now only use common interface receivers.
As far as I know Kaon are the people behind the Xtreme.
I don't know what make of motor you are thinking about but I would like to add that I had a motek which as far as I am concerned is crap, I won't go into the details here but I wouldn't use another one even if it was free. I am now using an Aston motor and am really please with it. It makes more noise that the Motek but at least it actually works properly. STAB are also very good apparently.
If you buy locally then ask your dealer if you can exchange the receiver if it doesn't suffice.
God luck!
