The Venture is the better actuator hands-down. I'll never use another chinese actuator on any of my dishes. One good windstorm, and it's good-bye dish. I have chronic high winds so can't take any chances.
I'm using a Venture Maxi right now that's about 20 years old, and still as good as the day it was built. Quiet as a mouse also, I can't even hear my 10 footer move from 50ft away. Sure, you'll pay more for the Venture, but you'll probably never need another one in your lifetime.
