I have a 76cm Winegard and had a 80cm Fortec which is what I based my opinion on. The Fortec was of heavier steel thus less prone to flex. The entire mount system was beefier on the Fortec and the mast portion of the mount came with side braces. Now perhaps moving up into larger dishes these factors may change. I can say in defense of the Winegard that it does setup according to the scale on the mount and not off by 5 degrees
