65cm Mesh Vs 80 Cm Solid?

I currently have a 65cm mesh dish and want to upgrade to an 80cm solid dish, but will It make much of a difference? At the min I get Astra 1 & hotbird loud and clear, same can be said for hispasat and 15,12.5,5w I have problem with sats between 5e-16e will an 80cm make much of a difference?

Yes a good 80cm will give you a very marked performance difference compared to yor 65 mesh. You still may not get all of the 5E transponders though.
