2m dish is it worth it?.

It looks like the 2.4m dual axis dish is the Prodelin 1244 model?
Design of the feed arm suggests it is offset focus?
The dual axis motorisation is by means of an actuator for elevation (inclined orbit tracking) and a slew drive for azimith (East/West)

From experience. I would definitely not sand a fiberglass dish except to get it clean and with enough "tooth" for a good spray sealer to interface with the top coat.
To get the RF reflectivity they are metal powder sprayed. I know because a local manufacturer used the process on fiberglass dishes here. The bare 'glass was flame sprayed and then a gel coat and final coat was applied. The paint coat is inherently thin.
