But for many people the higher angle allows for a higher signal percentage.
What "higher angle"? The birds at 61.5 and 72.7 are at the same elevation for either
dish.
I'm not sure if your playing me but higher elevation refers to the angle the dish points. If your east of the mississippi, the dish will point at approximately a 45 degree angle for a eastern arc sat while looking at the 129 sat it appears low on the horizon. It makes it much easier to get correct aim. Also the multi satellite dishes really aren't larger, just wider so it can focus on multiple sats.
"Playing you"? How is that... This thread is about eastern arc reception with different sized reflectors and LNB's. The eastern arc sats at 61.5°, 72.7°, and 77° are at the same elevation for any dish pointed at them from the same location. From my current location, my 1000.4 "sees" the eastern arc sats at about 40° of elevation, and if I changed to my western arc LNBF, the western arc sats would be at about 22° in a different direction that's blocked here.
If the listings I found online are correct, the 1000.2 reflector is 24"x19", and the 1000.4 reflector is 27.8"x22.3". I verified the 1000.4 dimensions by measuring mine. Of course both reflectors are wider than tall to accommodate the multiple focal points of the multiple LNB's.
