[QUOTE="Llew, post: 842134, member: 175007"] I would rate the Swedish SMW offset dish as being in a class of its own when it comes to build quality. Constructed of Acrylonitrile - Butadiene - Styrene (ABS plastic),with repeatable high surface accuracy in manufacture (vacuum formed). They're then coated with a copper layer, which is then covered with an acrylic topcoat. The back's then coated with a UV-resistant layer. They are to all intents and purposes indestructable. I still have my 1.05M dish - I dropped it six foot to the ground once, with no perceivable damage - it just springs back to its intended shape. Alas, the SMW series of dishes haven't been manufactured for years now, but if you see 1.2M one at auction, grab it quick. I'd give my eye teeth for one... [/QUOTE]
