Kathrein CAS dishes

Hello,
I'm thinking of maybe upgrading my dish to something a bit larger and newer so I was thinking of maybe one of the Kathrein CAS dishes, I was thinking of the CAS90 . Does anyone here have any experience with them, and are they a good buy or should they be kept away from?

Cheers

My System: 90cm channel master dish @1west, vantage x221tsci, skystar 2, diablo v2.3, setanta on 60cm minidish

yes they are a good buy but are quite expensive and very good build quality

what about a 1metre gibertini dish these are not expensive and good quality ?

Would the gibertini give just as good preformence as the kathrein?.

Ideally, Id like a dish which would give as good performence as possible and about 1metre in size because anything larger would not go down well with headquarters!

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

You could perhaps look at a Gregorian dish (Fibo type), they certainly punch above their weight, but are quite expensive.

What sort of money on average would we be talking about for a Gregorian dish?.

I was doing a bit of a search and I see a place sells gregorian dishes(??) under the name of masterfocus.

Have a look in the fibo section above, I think there are some prices mentioned in there.
