The focus will always be the same for any given dish, so you are correct as far as lnb location. A lot of folks have had limited sucess with smaller dishes such as yours, but only for the stronger transponders. A BCS 421 may work well for you.

If you have other dishes for Ku, then I'd suggest you just try the C-band alone on this 1.2m dish.
See Linuxman's thread for some birds & transponders he got on a 1m dish.

As for an LNBF, I don't think you can beat this current deal we have.
Of course, if you are in a hurry, there are other choices. -
