I dont have any experiance with this antenna.

The antenna efficiency at 11.3GHz is 58,4% and thats
not wery good. My 1.2m offset has 71.5%. Its only around 1dB in gain difference compared to a 2.7m with 71.5% - not that much.

Be aware that the antenna will need a extremely good fundament. It is also far more difficult to install a big antenna as it needs to be spot on - a slightly mispointing by half a degree and a spot on 1m antenna will probably perform just as good.

If the fundament is not extremely good the antenna can easily move 0.5 degrees in windy condition.
