Total = $548.00 + shipping

This has 4 lnb not sure if a special bracket / fitting will be needed to mount them ?? / missing parts ??

The 240cm boils down to this:
142606 DN Install Kit 25.00 25.00 Collar for C-Band Dish 20.00 20.00 HARL-3624 Super PowerJack Actuator 59.00 59.00 (CLASSIC,FC08,BSC621-2)C1 FTA C-Band Satellite System 399.00 399.00 MercuryII receiver upgrade to system 40.00 40.00Pole / mount = $69.00
Total = $607.00 + shipping

Not sure if there is parts I am missing.

Looked at doing 2x 100cm or 2x 120cm with 2 classic receivers but for the 2x120cm and quad lnb's = $951

Suggestions / comments /advice = welcome

Likely I would be better of getting a big dish and adding another receiver later.
Two things......
I don't see anything in the list to power the actuator, ie a VBOX or an analog receiver. I also don't see a polar mount. I don't think Sadoun, or anyone else I know of, sells these mounts separately. Ie you can't track the arc without a polar mount, and the C-band dishes that Sadoun sells are fixed mounts only. You could probably make a polar mount, but if you're planning to track the arc, you're probably better off getting a dish that already comes with a polar mount.

Sadoun has censored my signature for no good reason, which is annoying.
