The difference between a dish that's 90cm wide and 120cm wide is about 2.5dB. That means signals will be almost twice as strong, or alternatively you can receive a signal that's 1/2 the strength of the weakest signal you can receive with the smaller dish. It's a significant difference if you are...

There's also one from "Satelite-Gallor" 1.2m (48 inch) Ku-Band Solid Offset Satellite Dish | eBay for about the same price when you include shipping. The specs look like a true 120cm dish (120x134.6cm). They're in Toronto. No idea how reliable they are as a vendor, they do have some negative...
