In concept, the material doesn't matter, since to microwave mesh IS a solid. What matters is how perfect the shape is. A solid can be out of shape just like a mesh can. The bad thing about mesh dishes is that they can be bent out of shape up easier than a solid dish, like I've done with my broom every winter. But if I was going to buy a new
C-band dish, it would definately be a mesh dish. I wouldn't consider a solid dish for a second. And that's mainly based on cost, both cost of the dish, and cost of shipping. Dollar for dollar, for a C-band dish, you can't beat a mesh dish. If money is not a factor, then perhaps it's a different story.
