I-Max 2000 or 827

I have purchased a SIRIO 827 to erect just as soon as we sell house and move. Anyway, a freind said I should have spent a few sqid more and got a SOLARCON I-MAX 2000 as it's better.

So the thing is should I sell the 827 or or keep it?

Also would I have to buy the GP Kit as well to make it perform that much better than the 827 as this then would be more than a few sqid more like my freind said.

There is a bit about this topic under the antenna heading, I have read about both these aerials and the general opinion is that you made the right choice by going for the 827. Would have been my choice to and am sure you will be pleased with it. As for the gp kit, both would be better with one-for gp.

Sirio 827 all the way, excellent antenna and very well made. I have heard though that the imax works well with the gp kit fitted, never tried though. Owned both these antennas in the past and would buy the 827 if it were me emoticon

Thanks for your replies, have asked this question on other forums and the conclusion has been the same, stick with the 827.

cheers all
