Winegard RoadTrip Mission vs MiniMax

I'm looking into adding DirecTv to my MH (I have DirecTv at home). Looking at stationary domes only. Does anyone know what the difference is between the Winegards RoadTrip Mission and the MiniMax, other than height and price? The MiniMax is 3" taller but is about $400 less expensive, which makes it more appealing. What experience have any of you had with either dome?

    As long as the extra height is not an issue for you I would use the Mini-Max. For an in-motion antenna I would recommend the Mission. The extra cost of the Mission surrounds some different heavy duty motors and minor design changes but I don't think they are important enough for a stationary antenna where the motors rarely move anyway.

    We installed the Mini-max RT8000s this summer. Did it myself in about an hour.

    It is an in-motion antenna and has worked well from the first turn on.

    Of course, with Direct TV you will not get HD signal so must be satisfied with SD.

    On our <30" LED screens SD tends to look as good as HD to me. (We do have HD at the Sticks and Bricks.)
