Hi chaps,
I'm starting to get my motorized system at last and can't decide between 80cms aluminium dish between Gibertini and Orbital.
Orbital works about £10 cheaper off fleabay and is available in uk compared to Gibertini which is from German dealer. Any recommendations or bad experience with either manufacturer?

I think the Orbital dishes are a good basic dish. The Gibertini's are superb in the larger sizes - 1m+ - but the advantage drops off in the smaller sizes. I've never owned either, just going on what others have told me.

Nanochickin has a couple of Orbital dishes, and they seem to do OK for him.
