Agree with 99W. Not a 6' but you might look over this thread Review: Tek2000 8' Mesh Dish in the C Band section. Don't know how support is going to be as the seller is/hasn't been very 'up front' about source. But think its not a bad dish by the independent review.
Not that 'looking around' for a possible 'save' isn't an option.

Call Sadoun and talk to him first. When I ordered one online last year I got a call from him stating he did not have the mounts any more - only the dish, pole and some miscellaneous hardware and that he didn't think he would be getting any more mounts.:( That may have changed but be sure you are getting a complete unit before ordering.

87w 99w 101w 103w are my favs.
it would definitely be worth it to get a actuator and a controller even if these 4 sats were all you could get.
my very fav would probably be 87w or 101w, hard to choose.
you should point at each and scan them and figure out which one you like the best.

Definately 99w. That's where my 2.4m is parked Cozi, nbc,fox,abc,the cw, and the gdmx feeds. What more could you ask for. Almost forgot Metv also

I agree with most of the rest, my dish tends to stay parked at 99W.
