Might not even need a 1.8m if you just want Glastonbury feeds, They were on 28.2e last year.
 
Here's something to bare in mind Dan, - 1.8mtr CM or 1.8 / 2.0 mtr Precisions are very HEAVY as well as phsically big when it comes to man handling them onto mounts etc... ideally two man lifts to be on the safe side to prevent any damage to them especially aluminium reflectors if you've never experienced this kind of work before The mounts for either are heavy duty and also heavy and need to be well secured and installed accurate.
Don't forget the 'Planning Permission' threat.

If you do get a 1.8m Raven or whatever brand it is now I found setting the polar mount to be facing directly up helpful, then with an extra pair of hands you can slide the dish on like a bird bath.

Better than holding it vertical whilst you try put the bolts in as it will sit fine thanks to gravity with it dish face up.

I can relate to that but didn't bother doing it..me and the Mrs managed to hold it and get the bolts in. Lots of swearing and cursing but we managed it
 
I have both 1.2 and 1.8
. What is the actual question here
