85cm Fracarro Penta dish

I've currently got a 85cm Fracarro Penta dish and I'm extremely happy with the performance. I currently have 8380 TV channels on 45E, 42E, 39E, 36E, 33E, 26E, 25.5E, 23.5E, 21.6E, 19.2E, 16E, 13E, 10E, 9E, 7E, 4.8E, 3E, 0.8W, 4W, 5W, 7W, 8W, 11W, 12.5W, 15W, 22W, 24.5W, 30W and 45W.
Luckily, living on the SouthEast coast of UK, gives me a slight advantage over people further up north (apart from the channel gales that is). I get some of the weaker sats like 25.5E and 21.6E reasonably well in good weather.
My question: Would I gain anything by stepping up to a 1m dish? I want to remain legal.
And if so, what make of dish would you recommend?
Looking at the figures on various makes of dish, it is difficult to know for sure if it is any better or less good than the Fracarro. The Fracarro does perform very well.
So I will be happy to be advised by you and your thoughts. Would there be any advantage move up to a 1m?
