    the installer that fitted my kit (who is well know and respected on the sat forums) said he saw more faulty dark motors then TM2600

    so i opted for a TM2600, pretty good motor, near silent too!

    bo to fair there both great motors and the fact you have chosen to go with metal gearing is 90 percent there already, i know a lot of people who use the TM one so i'd go with that my self as i'm more familiar with it than the dark motor,
    My posts contain my own personal thoughts and opinions, they do not represent those of any organisation or group but my own.

    Well, I personally went with a darkman metal gear motor (altho it's a few years old now), but haven't (touch wood), had any problems... Worked perfect in the 2-3 yeas I've had it

    Also, as bigup7 says, go for an inverto black ultra ... they are defo worth any premium you may be paying...

    Finally, my dish is an 85cm gibertini, so you won't have any problems size wise with whichever motor you go for

    You'd be fine with a 80cm for those satellites.
