Do all metal reflectors get more signal than fiberglass for Ku?

According to the spec sheet for the Antesky 1.8 dish, 1.8 meter,1.8m antenna,1.8m dish-L,ka,S,X,C,KU Band-vsat antenna , it has a higher gain than the Prodelin / General Dynamics, Andrew , Channel Master, and the Global Skyware 1.8 dishes.

How in the world could it have 1.5 - 2dB more gain for the same size dish of a different, more well-known, brand? Is it because the reflector is aluminum or might they just be exaggerating the gain a little.

I just find it hard to believe that any Chinese made dish would have a higher gain the the Prodelin / General Dynamic dish. maybe I am wrong?

I never thought the Chinese off-air antennas would have higher gain than the more well-known brands, but I was wrong about that one, so I might be wrong about this one too.
 
Probably the same way all those Chinese lnb's have such low noise figures: They lie.

Oh, and Chinese OTA antenna's do NOT have more gain than standard antenna's made elsewhere. Unless of course they have pre-amps inside, which some do. That doesn't mean they are necessarily better though.
