titleAny reason NOT to buy a large (3 or 4.5m) dish from RF Ham Design?

We are going to upgrade our Old SRT to the New SRT this fall and are ordering/planning this summer. I'm thinking of buying the 3 or 4.5m mesh dish from RF Ham Designs, since the wind load is still acceptable for our roof top mount. Is there any reason why this is a bad idea? Thanks.

titleQ:Is there an official method of changing the default pointing of the SRT for the southern hemisphere? Another words so the telescope does not have to swing back around when scanning though north. This appears to be covered in the SRT software manuel with the azlim keywords, but this method results in an out of limits response when you command it to move.
